SubjectRe: [PATCH v5 1/6] of: Decrement refcount of previous endpoint in of_graph_get_next_endpoint
Hi Philipp,

Thanks for the patch and sorry for a late reply. I did look at your
patches earlier too, but maybe not attentively enough, or maybe I'm
misunderstanding something now. In the scan_of_host() function in
soc_camera.c as of current -next I see:

epn = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(np, epn);

which already looks like a refcount leak to me. If epn != NULL, its
refcount is incremented, but then immediately the variable gets
overwritten, and there's no extra copy of that variable to fix this. If
I'm right, then that bug in itself should be fixed, ideally before your
patch is applied. But in fact, your patch fixes this, since it modifies
of_graph_get_next_endpoint() to return with prev's refcount not
incremented, right? Whereas the of_node_put(epn) later down in
scan_of_host() decrements refcount of the _next_ endpoint, not the
previous one, so, it should be left alone? I.e. AFAICT your modification
to of_graph_get_next_endpoint() fixes soc_camera.c with no further
modifications to it required?

Thanks
Guennadi
