For devm_phy_put(), its comment says it needs to invoke phy_put() to
release the phy, but it will not actually invoke the function since
devres_destroy() does not call devm_phy_release(), and the missing
phy_put() call will cause:
- The phy fails to be released.
- devm_phy_put() can not fully undo what API devm_phy_get() does.
- Leak refcount of both the module and device for below typical usage:
devm_phy_get(); // or its variant
...
err = do_something();
if (err)
goto err_out;
...
err_out:
devm_phy_put(); // leak refcount here
The file(s) affected by this issue are shown below since they have such
typical usage.
drivers/pci/controller/cadence/pcie-cadence.c
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpsw-nuss.c
Fix by using devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within the API.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
