+Subject: of: Add cleanup.h based auto release via __free(device_node) markings
+
+From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com>
+
+commit 9448e55d032d99af8e23487f51a542d51b2f1a48 upstream.
+
+The recent addition of scope based cleanup support to the kernel
+provides a convenient tool to reduce the chances of leaking reference
+counts where of_node_put() should have been called in an error path.
+
+This enables
+       struct device_node *child __free(device_node) = NULL;
+
+       for_each_child_of_node(np, child) {
+               if (test)
+                       return test;
+       }
+
+with no need for a manual call of of_node_put().
+A following patch will reduce the scope of the child variable to the
+for loop, to avoid an issues with ordering of autocleanup, and make it
+obvious when this assigned a non NULL value.
+
+In this simple example the gains are small but there are some very
+complex error handling cases buried in these loops that will be
+greatly simplified by enabling early returns with out the need
+for this manual of_node_put() call.
+
+Note that there are coccinelle checks in
+scripts/coccinelle/iterators/for_each_child.cocci to detect a failure
+to call of_node_put(). This new approach does not cause false positives.
+Longer term we may want to add scripting to check this new approach is
+done correctly with no double of_node_put() calls being introduced due
+to the auto cleanup. It may also be useful to script finding places
+this new approach is useful.
