Add an of_node_put when a tested device node is not available. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr): // <smpl> @@ identifier f; local idexpression e; expression x; @@ e = f(...); ... when != of_node_put(e) when != x = e when != e = x when any if (<+...of_device_is_available(e)...+>) { ... when != of_node_put(e) ( return e; | + of_node_put(e); return ...; ) } // </smpl> Fixes: a9daaba2965e8 ("soc: Add Amlogic SoC Information driver") Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-gx-socinfo.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-gx-socinfo.c b/drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-gx-socinfo.c --- a/drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-gx-socinfo.c +++ b/drivers/soc/amlogic/meson-gx-socinfo.c @@ -123,8 +123,10 @@ static int __init meson_gx_socinfo_init( return -ENODEV; /* check if interface is enabled */ - if (!of_device_is_available(np)) + if (!of_device_is_available(np)) { + of_node_put(np); return -ENODEV; + } /* check if chip-id is available */ if (!of_property_read_bool(np, "amlogic,has-chip-id"))
