Unfortunately, I think it's a bit more subtle than that. The reason for
this get_device()/try_module_get() dance was to mirror the behaviour of
of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node() so that when we call i2c_put_adapter() in
tegra_output_remove() we correctly decrease the reference count.
The above will increase the reference on the I2C adapter's parent while
i2c_put_adapter() will then only decrease the reference on the I2C
adapter, so I think effectively we'd be leaking a reference to the I2C
adapter's parent.
Also, since we didn't take a reference on the I2C adapter explicitly,
releasing that reference in tegra_output_remove() might free the I2C
adapter too early.
I wonder if perhaps it'd be easier to get rid of the struct tegra_output
abstraction altogether and push this down into the individual drivers,
even if that means a bit more code duplication. That's not the kind of
quick fix to resolve this current situation, so perhaps as a stop-gap we
just need to sprinkle a few more conditionals throughout tegra_output
code. We could, for example, avoid calling i2c_put_adapter() in
tegra_output_remove() for the DisplayPort cases and instead manually
release the reference to the I2C adapter's parent in tegra_sor_remove().
On top of your patch above that /should/ fix things properly for now.
Thierry
