[PATCH V1] of: dynamic: Fix memleak when of_pci_add_properties failed
From: Lizhi Hou
Date: Wed Aug 13 2025 - 14:29:11 EST
When of_pci_add_properties failed, of_changeset_destroy is called to free
the changeset. And of_changeset_destroy puts device tree node in each entry
but does not free property in the entry. This leads to memory leak in the
failure case.
In of_changeset_add_prop_helper, add the property to the device tree node
deadprops list. Thus, the property will also be freed along with device
tree node.
Fixes: b544fc2b8606 ("of: dynamic: Add interfaces for creating device node dynamically")
