The release should be done when no longer needed, not even before returning the device to the caller. > The fsl_mc_device_lookup() directly returns without releasing the > reference via put_device(). > > Add the missing put_device() call to prevent reference leaks. > No, the call to put_device should not be done from fsl_mc_device_lookup() but instead from its callers when indeed the device is no longer in use. For example, fsl_mc_obj_device_add() does call put_device(). Ioana
