Yeah, that may be sufficient, but looking closer at this now, it seems the name pointers (su1_fb and su2_fb) are only used as booleans, and the fb_name pointer in struct as3711_bl_data is never used at all. So cleaning that up somehow (e.g. and maybe even dropping non-dt probing) would also work. But since this is a separate, and less critical issue, I think it needs to be done as a follow up to this one.

To be honest it was adding the separate and less critical FIXMEs into the patches that attracted my attention in the first place. ;-) Daniel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Since I was touching those error paths, I at least wanted to record somehow there were further issues to be addressed. But feel free to drop the FIXMEs if you prefer.

In my experience FIXME's tend not to get addressed: $ git grep -i fixme | wc -l 4431 Submit patches instead. :)

I just sent a v2 including a new patch fixing these node leaks instead of just flagging them. The driver really had no business storing those node full_name fields in the first place.

Fix child-node lookup during probe, which ended up searching the whole device tree depth-first starting at the parent rather than just matching on its children. To make things worse, the parent mfd node was also prematurely freed. Note that the nodes returned from the two calls to of_parse_phandle() are also leaking, but fixing that is a bit more involved as pointers to node fields are being stored for later use.
