[PATCH 00/28] mfd: Assorted resource lifetime, teardown, and error-handling fixes
From: Lee Jones
Date: Wed Oct 21 2026 - 08:35:09 EST
These issues were reported by Sashiko.
This series addresses a collection of resource lifetime, teardown
ordering, uninitialised memory, and error-handling issues across MFD
drivers (along with two related patches touching i2c-cgbc and the
ti_am335x_tscadc child drivers):
- Resource teardown & lifecycle fixes:
Ensure IRQ domains, chained/parent interrupts, GPIO GSIs, delayed/reset
work items, PM notifiers, system power-off handlers, sysfs groups, MFD
child devices, and global singleton pointers are properly unregistered
or managed via devres on probe failure and driver unbind (ls2kbmc,
ioc3, intel-lpss, max8907, twl-core, loongson-se, abx500-core,
ab8500-core, tps65217, mt6397/mt6358).
- DMA, URB, & hardware error handling:
Allocate USB transfer buffers on the heap rather than the stack, avoid
resubmitting interrupt URBs on endpoint stall (-EPIPE), zero-initialise
command and version buffers, and validate DMA masks, engine IDs, and
polled transfer status (nct6694, cgbc, i2c-cgbc, loongson-se).
- MFD cell descriptor & driver-data clean-ups:
Avoid storing stack frame addresses in MFD cell platform_data and
resource pointers, and retrieve parent driver data directly via
dev_get_drvdata() in the ti_am335x_tscadc child drivers (ls2kbmc,
bd96801, db8500-prcmu, ti_am335x_tscadc).
