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")

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?

Thanks,
Johan

Double free, this looks bogus here. Actually would not this mean a
triple free since you already free in dsa_cpu_dsa_setup() which is
paired with dsa_cpu_dsa_destroy()?

The naming of phy_device_free() is unfortunate when it's really a put():

void phy_device_free(struct phy_device *phydev)
{
	put_device(&phydev->mdio.dev);
}

which may need to be called multiple times, specifically after a call to
of_phy_find_device() which takes another reference.

With this patch the refcounts are properly balanced.

Indeed, should have looked a little harder.

The intent of your patch is good, but it still feels like having to
double imbalance the refcount is symptomatic of a larger issue here, it
does not seem like having several refcounts are necessary, so we may
really want to rework the API.

I'll cook something up for -next, but how about using

	put_device(&phydev->mdio.dev)

for the reference taken by of_phy_find_device() (as some driver
already do) to fix the immediate leaks?

Then deregistration would look like:

	phydev = of_phy_find_device(port_dn);
	if (phydev) {
-			phy_device_free(phydev);
			fixed_phy_unregister(phydev);
+			put_device(&phydev->mdio.dev)
+			phy_device_free(phydev);

Thanks,
Johan

On second thought, I suggest just renaming the phy_device_free() as
phy_device_put() to reflect what it really does these days. There can
never be a guarantee that the phy is freed on a call to
phy_device_free() anyway.

The OF interface can still be modified to return a pointer later.
