Thanks Konrad for the review.

The console port uses a fixed line number and is not allocated from
port_ida. However, qcom_geni_serial_remove() unconditionally frees the
line number for all ports, including the console port.

Skip ida_free() for console ports so that only IDs allocated from
port_ida are returned.

Also release allocated IDs from the common probe error path. Currently,
IDs are freed only on the wake-IRQ failure path, causing leaks when
probe fails after a successful allocation. Move the ida_free() call to
the common error path and guard it for console ports.

GPT suggested that the failure of

ret = port->dev_data->resources_init(&port->se);

should also be updated to have a 'goto error' rather than a direct
return

Good catch. I will fix in next V2 patch. I will route through "error" now so it goes through the same ida_free() as every other failure path instead of skipping it.



also that in get_port_from_line(), reordering the devm_kzalloc before
ida_alloc_range() would prevent another leak

Agree. I will reorder it.
