From 1e5a541420b8c6d87d88eb50b6b978cdeafee1c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miaoqian Lin linmq006@gmail.com Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2025 12:13:13 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: mediatek: fix nvmem cell reference leak in mt798x_phy_calibration
When nvmem_cell_read() fails in mt798x_phy_calibration(), the function returns without calling nvmem_cell_put(), leaking the cell reference.
Move nvmem_cell_put() right after nvmem_cell_read() to ensure the cell reference is always released regardless of the read result.
Found via static analysis and code review.
