[PATCH] gpio: swnode: Don't use __free() on result of swnode_get_gpio_device()

From: Charles Keepax
Date: Mon Mar 04 2024 - 11:03:44 EST


swnode_get_gpio_device() can return an error pointer, however
gpio_device_put() is not able to accept error values. Thus using
__free() will result in dereferencing an invalid pointer.

As there is only a single exit point anyway, simply call
gpio_device_put() manually. Whilst modifying the code move
the variable declaration to the top of the function, and move
fwnode_handle_put() until after the error check. Technically
fwnode_handle_put() will handle being passed an error value, but
no need to call it when the code knows it doesn't need to.

Fixes: b7b56e64a345 ("gpio: swnode: replace gpiochip_find() with gpio_device_find_by_label()")
