[PATCH] HID: wacom: stop hardware after post-start probe failures
From: Myeonghun Pak
Date: Sun May 24 2026 - 13:56:19 EST
wacom_parse_and_register() starts HID hardware before registering inputs
and initializing pad LEDs/remotes. Those later steps can fail, but their
error paths currently release Wacom resources without stopping the HID
hardware.
Route post-hid_hw_start() failures through hid_hw_stop() before
releasing driver resources.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.
