[PATCH] drm/meson: clean up KMS polling on register failure

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Sun May 24 2026 - 12:07:17 EST


meson_drv_bind_master() starts the KMS polling helper before registering
the DRM device. If drm_dev_register() fails, probe unwinds the IRQ and
DRM device without stopping the polling helper.

Call drm_kms_helper_poll_fini() on that failure path before freeing the
IRQ.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.
