From: Jon Mason jon.mason@broadcom.com

[ Upstream commit b60161668199ac62011c024adc9e66713b9554e7 ]

There is a potential unnecessary refcount decrement on error path of put_device(&pb->mii_bus->dev), as it is possible to avoid the of_mdio_find_bus() call if mux_bus is specified by the calling function.

The same put_device() is not called in the error path if the devm_kzalloc of pb fails. This caused the variable used in the put_device() to be changed, as the pb pointer was obviously not set up.

There is an unnecessary of_node_get() on child_bus_node if the of_mdiobus_register() is successful, as the for_each_available_child_of_node() automatically increments this. Thus the refcount on this node will always be +1 more than it should be.

There is no of_node_put() on child_bus_node if the of_mdiobus_register() call fails.

Finally, it is lacking devm_kfree() of pb in the error path. While this might not be technically necessary, it was present in other parts of the function. So, I am adding it where necessary to make it uniform.
