[PATCH v2] net: ethernet: ti: netcp_core: fix device_node refcount leak in netcp_probe()

From: manushprajwal <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-14 19:05:12
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Manush Prajwal <redacted>

When netcp_create_interface() failed for a given child node,
netcp_probe() jumped to probe_quit_interface, which released the
"interfaces" parent node but never the "child" node that the
for_each_available_child_of_node() loop was iterating on.

Rework the loop around for_each_available_child_of_node_scoped()
instead of adding a manual of_node_put(). child is only read inside
the loop body and is never used after it, so the scoped macro's
automatic cleanup on the goto is sufficient on its own.

v2: Rework using for_each_available_child_of_node_scoped() instead of
    a manual of_node_put(), per Andrew Lunn's review.
