In qcom_smem_state_register() and qcom_smem_state_release(), we should better use of_node_get() and of_node_put() for the reference creation and destruction of 'device_node'. Fixes: 9460ae2ff308 ("soc: qcom: Introduce common SMEM state machine code") Signed-off-by: Liang He <windhl@xxxxxxx> --- I have learned that the 'state->of_node' is used to match client lookups. But I do not know if there will be a premature free or UAF if we do not refcount this new reference created in to 'state->of_node'.
