The current implementation accesses the `child` fwnode handle outside of device_for_each_child_node() without incrementing its refcount. Add the missing call to `fwnode_handle_get(child)`. The cleanup process where `child` is accessed is not right either because a single call to `fwnode_handle_put()` is carried out in case of an error, ignoring unasigned nodes at the point when the error happens. Keep `child` inside of the first loop, and use the helper pointer that receives references via `fwnode_handle_get()` to handle the child nodes within the second loop. Keeping `child` inside the first node has also the advantage that the scoped version of the loop can be used. Fixes: ee4e80b2962e ("leds: pca995x: Add support for PCA995X chips") Signed-off-by: Javier Carrasco <javier.carrasco.cruz@xxxxxxxxx> --- This issue has been found while reviewing the recently applied commit 3ec05e5feacd ("leds: pca995x: Use device_for_each_child_node() to access device child nodes"), which required some conflict resolution to be applied. This driver makes use of the variable `child` outside the _for_each_child_node() loop as it that variable contained the right address at the point where `fwnode_handle_put(child)` is called, which is not a valid assumption. `child` is assigned to led_fwnodes[reg] without incrementing its refcount, and the cleanup is off as well because even if that was correct, a single child node would be de-allocated. A similar fix was provided in the series where forementioned commit was included for leds-bd2606mvv.c [1].
