The reference of pdev->dev is taken by of_find_device_by_node, so
it should be released when error out.

Ok, but if of_find_device_by_node() requires a subsequent call to
put_device(), then doesn't this mean that in the non-error case, the
pdev refcount remains elevated, and will thus never be freed?

I would expect another put_device(&pdev->dev) after the device_link_add(),
which itself takes another set of references on the supplier and
consumer devs, which are sufficient for this driver's runtime operation.

Also, "if (!pdev)" and "if (!platform_get_drvdata(pdev)" here need
different treatment. One needs to call put_device(&pdev->dev) and the
other one doesn't.

	pdev = of_find_device_by_node(pcs_np);
	of_node_put(pcs_np);
	if (!pdev || !platform_get_drvdata(pdev))
		return ERR_PTR(-EPROBE_DEFER);

Also, the patch subject prefix needs to be "[PATCH net]" (indicative of
the fact that you want it to go to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git)
and not "[PATCH -next]".

Thanks, I will change the patch subject prefix and resend the patch of
v2 with your advice.
