[PATCH V2] net: dsa: Add of_node_put() before break statement

From: Sumera Priyadarsini
Date: Sun Aug 23 2020 - 15:03:24 EST


Every iteration of for_each_child_of_node() decrements
the reference count of the previous node, however when control
is transferred from the middle of the loop, as in the case of
a return or break or goto, there is no decrement thus ultimately
resulting in a memory leak.

Fix a potential memory leak in mt7530.c by inserting of_node_put()
before the break statement.

Issue found with Coccinelle.

Changes in v2:
Add another of_node_put() in for_each_child_of_node() as pointed
out by Andrew.
