[PATCH] mdio: mux: Correct mdio_mux_init error path issues

From: Jon Mason
Date: Wed May 10 2017 - 11:20:40 EST


There is a potential unnecessary refcount decriment on error path of
put_device(&pb->mii_bus->dev), as it is possible to avoid the
of_mdio_find_bus() call if mux_bus is specified by the calling function.

The same put_device() is not called in the error path if the
devm_kzalloc of pb fails. This caused the variable used in the
put_device() to be changed, as the pb pointer was obviously not set up.

There is an unnecessary of_node_get() on child_bus_node if the
of_mdiobus_register() is successful, as the
for_each_available_child_of_node() automatically increments this.
Thus the refcount on this node will always be +1 more than it should be.

There is no of_node_put() on child_bus_node if the of_mdiobus_register()
call fails.

Finally, it is lacking devm_kfree() of pb in the error path. While this
might not be technically necessary, it was present in other parts of the
function. So, I am adding it where necessary to make it uniform.
