From cdd0f118ef87db8a664fb5ea366fd1766d2df1cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haoxiang Li haoxiang_li2024@163.com Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 20:09:38 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix a reference leak in mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu_init()
vpu_get_plat_device() increases the reference count of the returned platform device. However, when devm_kzalloc() fails, the reference is not released, causing a reference leak.
Fix this by calling put_device() on fw_pdev->dev before returning on the error path.
