Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/adreno: Fix a reference leak in a6xx_gpu_init()

In a6xx_gpu_init(), node is obtained via of_parse_phandle().
While there was a manual of_node_put() at the end of the
common path, several early error returns would bypass this call,
resulting in a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2be24c945e76cd538ce5dd2e50f5d3e7d848c175
