From 9844fb2e351311210e6660a9a1c62d17424a6145 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2018 10:21:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: twl4030-charger: fix OF sibling-node lookup
Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the usb sibling node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the entire tree from a given start node and thus can return an unrelated (non-sibling) node.
This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first argument (i.e. the parent device node).
While at it, also fix the related phy-node reference leak.
