From da717540acd34e5056e3fa35791d50f6b3303f55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:12:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: gianfar: fix device leak when querying time stamp info Make sure to drop the reference to the ptp device taken by of_find_device_by_node() when querying the time stamping capabilities. Note that holding a reference to the ptp device does not prevent its driver data from going away.
