mtd: core: Fix refcount error in del_mtd_device()
[ Upstream commit 56570bdad5e31c5c538cd6efff5c4510256e1bb4 ]
del_mtd_device() will call of_node_put() to mtd_get_of_node(mtd), which
is mtd->dev.of_node. However, memset(&mtd->dev, 0) is called before
of_node_put(). As the result, of_node_put() won't do anything in
del_mtd_device(), and causes the refcount leak.
del_mtd_device()
memset(&mtd->dev, 0, sizeof(mtd->dev) # clear mtd->dev
of_node_put()
mtd_get_of_node(mtd) # mtd->dev is cleared, can't locate of_node
# of_node_put(NULL) won't do anything
Fix the error by caching the pointer of the device_node.
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach
