[PATCH] mfd: da9150: fix IRQ action memory leak on removal

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 23:08:19 EST


da9150_remove() currently removes the regmap IRQ chip before removing
the MFD child devices. regmap_del_irq_chip() disposes the child IRQ
mappings and removes their IRQ descriptors.

The GPADC child registers an interrupt handler using
devm_request_threaded_irq(). When the child device is subsequently
removed, its device-managed cleanup calls free_irq(), which can no
longer find the corresponding IRQ descriptor. As a result, the
allocated struct irqaction is not freed, causing a memory leak.
The associated IRQ thread also cannot be stopped normally.

Remove the MFD child devices first so their interrupt handlers are
released while the IRQ mappings are still valid. Then remove the
regmap IRQ chip and its IRQ domain.

This issue was found by our static analysis tool under development.
