The MSM DRM driver is currently broken in multiple ways with respect to
probe deferral. Not only does the driver currently fail to probe again
after a late deferral, but due to a related use-after-free bug this also
triggers NULL-pointer dereferences.

These bugs are not new but have become critical with the release of
5.19 where probe is deferred in case the aux-bus EP panel driver has not
yet been loaded.

The underlying problem is lifetime issues due to careless use of
device-managed resources.

Any chance of getting this merged for 6.1?

Is anyone picking these up as fixes for 6.1-rc as we discussed?

Johan

All of these except the last two ( as discussed ) have landed in the -fixes tree

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm/-/commit/6808abdb33bf90330e70a687d29f038507e06ebb

Thanks
