[PATCH] net: stmmac: platform: fix of_node leak when breaking RX queue loop

From: Linkai Gong

Date: Wed Aug 19 2026 - 03:34:25 EST


for_each_child_of_node() on the RX queues breaks once enough queues are
parsed, which leaves the current child referenced. The TX loop then
overwrites q_node, so that reference is never dropped.

of_node_put() the child before breaking. The TX loop already drops its
last reference via the of_node_put(q_node) at the out label.

Fixes: d976a525c371 ("net: stmmac: multiple queues dt configuration")
