[PATCH v2] ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in wcd934x_codec_parse_data()
From: Ma Ke
Date: Sun Sep 21 2025 - 21:35:40 EST
wcd934x_codec_parse_data() contains a device reference count leak in
of_slim_get_device() where device_find_child() increases the reference
count of the device but this reference is not properly decreased in
the success path. Add put_device() in wcd934x_codec_parse_data() and
add devm_add_action_or_reset() in the probe function, which ensures
that the reference count of the device is correctly managed.
Memory leak in regmap_init_slimbus() as the allocated regmap is not
released when the device is removed. Using devm_regmap_init_slimbus()
instead of regmap_init_slimbus() to ensure automatic regmap cleanup on
device removal.
Calling path: of_slim_get_device() -> of_find_slim_device() ->
device_find_child(). As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE:
you will need to drop the reference with put_device() after use.'.
