Make sure to drop the reference taken by of_phy_find_device() when registering and deregistering the fixed-link PHY-device.
Note that we need to put both references held at deregistration. Fixes: 39b0c705195e ("net: dsa: Allow configuration of CPU & DSA port speeds/duplex") Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <jo...@kernel.org> --- Hi, This is one has been compile tested only, but fixes a couple of leaks similar to one that was found in the cpsw driver for which I just posted a patch. It turns out all drivers but DSA fail to deregister the fixed-link PHYs registered by of_phy_register_fixed_link(). Due to the way this interface was designed, deregistering such a PHY is a bit cumbersome and looks like it would benefit from a common helper. However, perhaps the interface should instead be changed so that the PHY device is returned so that drivers do not need to use of_phy_find_device() when they need to access properties of the fixed link (e.g. as in dsu_cpu_dsa_setup below). Thoughts?
