Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: fix fixed-link-phy device leaks
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:47:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1479307664-32428-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
Make sure to drop the reference taken by of_phy_find_device() when
registering and deregistering the fixed-link PHY-device.
Note that we need to put both references held at deregistration.
Fixes: 39b0c705195e ("net: dsa: Allow configuration of CPU & DSA port
speeds/duplex")

Hi,
This is one has been compile tested only, but fixes a couple of leaks
similar to one that was found in the cpsw driver for which I just posted
a patch.
It turns out all drivers but DSA fail to deregister the fixed-link PHYs
registered by of_phy_register_fixed_link(). Due to the way this
interface was designed, deregistering such a PHY is a bit cumbersome and
looks like it would benefit from a common helper.
However, perhaps the interface should instead be changed so that the PHY
device is returned so that drivers do not need to use
of_phy_find_device() when they need to access properties of the fixed
link (e.g. as in dsu_cpu_dsa_setup below).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Johan
