[PATCH] i3c: master: Fix of_node reference leak in of_i3c_master_add_i2c_boardinfo()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 12:32:35 EST
of_i2c_get_board_info() stores the device node in the board info's fwnode
without taking a reference, so the board info relies on the trailing
of_node_get() to keep the node alive. Nothing ever drops that reference:
the board info is devres-allocated and has no release callback.
Register the reference as a device-managed action of the I3C master so it
is released on registration failure and on controller teardown.
Fixes: 3a379bbcea0a ("i3c: Add core I3C infrastructure")
