Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
cpufreq: Avoid a bad reference count on CPU node<br />
<br />
In the parse_perf_domain function, if the call to<br />
of_parse_phandle_with_args returns an error, then the reference to the<br />
CPU device node that was acquired at the start of the function would not<br />
be properly decremented.<br />
<br />
Address this by declaring the variable with the __free(device_node)<br />
cleanup attribute.
