Still testing as much as I have time to do.
I'm hitting this error message once when removing an overlay that adds
several child nodes. The only node I get the message for was a node
that added a fixed-clock (the other nodes didn't trigger the error).
Then even if I edited all the rest of the overlay DTS and removed all
other child nodes and all references to the clock from other nodes, I
still got the error.
Removing dtbo: 1-socfpga_arria10_socdk_sdmmc_ghrd_ovl_ext_cfg.dtb
[ 72.032270] OF: ERROR: memory leak - destroy cset entry: attach
overlay node /soc/base_fpga_region/clk_0 expected refcount 1 instead
of 2. of_node_get() / of_node_put() are unbalanced for this node.
Here's the very stripped down overlay:
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
/ {
fragment at 0 {
target-path = "/soc/base_fpga_region";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
__overlay__ {
external-fpga-config;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
clk_0: clk_0 {
compatible = "fixed-clock";
#clock-cells = <0>;
clock-frequency = <100000000>; /* 100.00 MHz */
clock-output-names = "clk_0-clk";
};
};
};
};
I'll look at it some more tomorrow and try to figure out what's
special about this node.
