Hi, Some i2c mux drivers wrongly use the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() / i2c_put_adapter() to lock the parent adapter. Indeed, i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an overflow over zero of the parent adapter user counter. Identified mux drivers impacted are: - i2c-mux-gpmux - i2c-demux-pinctrl - i2c-mux-pinctrl Commit 48e9743dd648 ("i2c: core: add and export of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() interface") introduces of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() to correctly handle this refcount issue. This series fixes the 3 identified mux drivers replacing the of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() call by an of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() call.
