I got the the following report: OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 4, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /i2c/pmic@34/adc In of_fwnode_get_reference_args(), the refcount of of_args.np has been incremented in the case of successful return from of_parse_phandle_with_args() or of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args(). Decrement the refcount if of_args is not returned to the caller of of_fwnode_get_reference_args().
