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: c026c98739c7e ("powerpc/83xx: Do not configure or probe disabled FSL DR USB controllers") Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/usb.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -u -p a/arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/usb.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/usb.c --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/usb.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/usb.c @@ -221,8 +221,10 @@ int mpc837x_usb_cfg(void) int ret = 0; np = of_find_compatible_node(NULL, NULL, "fsl-usb2-dr"); - if (!np || !of_device_is_available(np)) + if (!np || !of_device_is_available(np)) { + of_node_put(np); return -ENODEV; + } prop = of_get_property(np, "phy_type", NULL); if (!prop || (strcmp(prop, "ulpi") && strcmp(prop, "serial"))) {
