[PATCH v2] soc: qcom: cmd-db: Use devm_memremap() to fix memory leak in cmd_db_dev_probe

From: Haotian Zhang

Date: Mon Dec 15 2025 - 20:40:50 EST


If cmd_db_magic_matches() fails after memremap() succeeds, the function
returns -EINVAL without unmapping the memory region, causing a
potential resource leak.

Switch to devm_memremap to automatically manage the map resource.

Fixes: 312416d9171a ("drivers: qcom: add command DB driver")

Changes in v2:
- Switch to devm_memremap instead of adding memunmap to also do
the cleaning when cmd_db_dev_driver is unregistered, since there
is no _remove() function.
- Updated subject to reflect the usage of devm_memremap().
