Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: typec: tcpci: fix of node refcount leak in tcpci_register_port()<br />
<br />
I got the following report while doing device(mt6370-tcpc) load<br />
test with CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST and CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC enabled:<br />
<br />
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,<br />
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:<br />
attach overlay node /i2c/pmic@34/tcpc/connector<br />
<br />
The &#39;fwnode&#39; set in tcpci_parse_config() which is called<br />
in tcpci_register_port(), its node refcount is increased<br />
in device_get_named_child_node(). It needs be put while<br />
exiting, so call fwnode_handle_put() in the error path of<br />
tcpci_register_port() and in tcpci_unregister_port() to<br />
avoid leak.
