Hi Steven,
Thank you for the patch.

I don't think the Fixes tag is correct, the issue was already present before 4ee48cc5586b. The fix looks right though.

I'm not sure quite what you mean by "already present". As I understand it the timeline was:
1. 6529007522de drm: of: Add drm_of_lvds_get_dual_link_pixel_order The function was originally added. This made the mistake twice of calling of_node_put() on the wrong variable (remote_port rather than endpoint).
2. 4ee48cc5586b drm: of: Fix double-free bug One of the of_node_put() calls was removed as it was a double-free. This left the first incorrect of_node_put() in place, and the second is now a straight leak.
3. b557a5f8da57 drm/of: free the right object This (correctly) fixes the first of_node_put() to free endpoint. And the post from Daniel was what caused me to look.
4. This patch Reintroduces the of_node_put() removed in (2) but putting endpoint rather than remote_port.
I've put (2) in the Fixes line as this patch is fixing the leak introduced by that patch, but that in itself was of course 'fixing' the double free of the original patch.

Ah, I see what you mean. My thought process was that the original comment had the bug "using the wrong variable", and (2) (partially) fixed that but in the process introduced a new bug (a memory leak). But I guess technically the memory leak was there from the beginning.
The other reason I referenced (2) in the Fixes line is because this patch depends on patch (2), whereas it won't apply cleanly without.
However I don't think it really matters either way: (2) has already been backported, and either way this needs fixing if either (1) or (2) are present.
Would you like me to resend with a "Fixes: 6529007522de drm: of: Add drm_of_lvds_get_dual_link_pixel_order", or are you happy to just fix this up when merging?
Thanks,
Steve
