This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pinctrl: freescale: mxs: Fix refcount of child to the 6.1-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: pinctrl-freescale-mxs-fix-refcount-of-child.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1ce486ca3ede304f383f76e6128ae301f8d4f43f Author: Peng Fan <peng.fan@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat May 4 21:20:16 2024 +0800 pinctrl: freescale: mxs: Fix refcount of child [ Upstream commit 7f500f2011c0bbb6e1cacab74b4c99222e60248e ] of_get_next_child() will increase refcount of the returned node, need use of_node_put() on it when done. Per current implementation, 'child' will be override by for_each_child_of_node(np, child), so use of_get_child_count to avoid refcount leakage.
