[PATCH] net: gianfar: fix reference counting for phy_node
From: Uwe Kleine-König <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-07 19:35:38
The line before the changed if condition is: priv->phy_node = of_parse_phandle(np, "phy-handle", 0); . If this call succeeds priv->phy_node must not be overwritten in the if block; otherwise the reference to the node returned by of_parse_phandle is lost. So add a check that the if block isn't executed in this case. Furthermore in the fixed phy case no reference is aquired for phy_node resulting in an of_node_put without holding a reference. To fix that, get a reference on the MAC dt node. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <redacted> --- drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
