[PATCH] tty: serial: pch_uart: add check for dma_alloc_coherent()
From: Zhaoyang Yu
Date: Wed Apr 08 2026 - 03:25:06 EST
From: Zhaoyang Yu <2426767509@xxxxxx>
Add a check for dma_alloc_coherent() failure to prevent a potential
NULL pointer dereference in dma_handle_rx(). Properly release DMA
channels and the PCI device reference using a goto ladder if the
allocation fails.
