Summary
power: supply: charger-manager: fix refcount leak in is_full_charged()
Details

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

power: supply: charger-manager: fix refcount leak in isfullcharged()

In isfullcharged(), powersupplygetbyname() is called to obtain a reference to the fuelgauge power supply. If the voltage check (uV >= desc->fullbattuV) succeeds, the function returns true directly without releasing the reference, leaking the refcount.

Fix this by setting a flag and jumping to the out label where powersupplyput() properly drops the reference.
