This patch addresses two related memory management issues in the probe function:
1. for_each_available_child_of_node performs an of_node_get on each iteration, so a break out of the loop requires an of_node_put. A simplified version of the semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr): // <smpl> @@ expression root,e; local idexpression child; @@ for_each_available_child_of_node(root, child) { ... when != of_node_put(child) when != e = child ( return child; | + of_node_put(child); ? return ...; ) ... } // </smpl> 2. The devm_kzalloc'd data is not used if brcmnand_init_cs fails. Free it immediately, using devm_kfree in this case, instead of waiting for the remove function.
