[PATCH] mtd: rawnand: intel: fix OF node reference leak
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 12:47:15 EST
ebu_nand_probe() gets a reference to the NAND chip node with
of_get_next_child(). The probe failure paths release the reference with
of_node_put(), but the successful probe path keeps it for the lifetime
of the device and ebu_nand_remove() never drops it.
As a result, each bind/unbind cycle leaks a reference to the NAND chip
device node.
Drop the reference in ebu_nand_remove() after the NAND teardown using
the flash node stored in the NAND chip.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
