[PATCH] media: vpif_display: Fix i2c adapter reference leak in vpif_probe()
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 06:14:15 EST
vpif_probe() takes a reference to the i2c adapter with
i2c_get_adapter() and passes it to v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board(),
which does not consume it, but the reference is never released, so
it is leaked both when the probe succeeds and when it fails after
the adapter has been acquired.
Release the reference with i2c_put_adapter() on the success path and
in the probe_subdev_out cleanup.
