[PATCH] usb: ucsi: huawei_gaokun: move typec_altmode off stack

From: Arnd Bergmann

Date: Thu Jun 18 2026 - 10:34:44 EST


From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

The typec_altmode structure contains a 'struct device' object
that cannot be allocated on the stack because of its size, even
when ignoring the lifetime rules:

drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/ucsi_huawei_gaokun.c:326:13: error: stack frame size (1456) exceeds limit (1280) in 'gaokun_ucsi_usb_notify_ind' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
326 | static void gaokun_ucsi_usb_notify_ind(struct gaokun_ucsi *uec)

Since the altmode is always associated with a port here, move
it into the port object and avoid at least the stack allocation
issue.

Fixes: 1c2b66a7d725 ("usb: ucsi: huawei_gaokun: support mode switching")

This is probably not the fix we want, as it still leaves an uninitialized
device object in the structure, but it illustrates the issue and
fixing it like this has no immediate downsides.

Please check if you want this as a hotfix for the moment, or can provide
a more elaborate fix. Reverting 1c2b66a7d725 may also be an option.
