This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: dsa: slave: fix of-node leak and phy priority to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-dsa-slave-fix-of-node-leak-and-phy-priority.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 0d8f3c67151faaa80e332c254372dca58fb2a9d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 19:24:54 +0100 Subject: net: dsa: slave: fix of-node leak and phy priority From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0d8f3c67151faaa80e332c254372dca58fb2a9d4 upstream. Make sure to drop the reference taken by of_parse_phandle() before returning from dsa_slave_phy_setup(). Note that this also modifies the PHY priority so that any fixed-link node is only parsed when no phy-handle is given, which is in accordance with the common scheme for this.
