[PATCH 1/3] i2c: muxes: i2c-mux-pinctrl: Use of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()

From: Herve Codina
Date: Thu Oct 19 2023 - 03:35:56 EST


i2c-mux-pinctrl uses the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() /
i2c_put_adapter(). These pair alone is not correct to properly lock the
I2C parent adapter.

Indeed, i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an
overflow over zero of the parent adapter user counter.

Use the dedicated function, of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), to handle
correctly the module refcount.
