Subject: CVE-2022-48856: gianfar: ethtool: Fix refcount leak in gfar_get_ts_info
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gianfar: ethtool: Fix refcount leak in gfar_get_ts_info
The of_find_compatible_node() function returns a node pointer with
refcount incremented, We should use of_node_put() on it when done
Add the missing of_node_put() to release the refcount.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48856 to this issue.

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:
