[PATCH v1 1/1] mfd: Remove software node conditionally and locate at right place

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Mon May 10 2021 - 10:28:40 EST


Currently the software node is removed in error case and at ->remove()
stage unconditionally, that ruins the symmetry. Besides, in some cases,
when mfd_add_device() fails, the device_remove_software_node() call
may lead to NULL pointer dereference:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000
...
EIP: strlen+0x12/0x20
...
kernfs_name_hash+0x13/0x70
kernfs_find_ns+0x32/0xc0
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x2a/0x90
sysfs_remove_link+0x16/0x30
software_node_notify.cold+0x34/0x6b
device_remove_software_node+0x5a/0x90
mfd_add_device.cold+0x30a/0x427

Fix all these by guarding device_remove_software_node() with a conditional
and locating it at the right place.

Fixes: 42e59982917a ("mfd: core: Add support for software nodes")
