[PATCH] dmaengine: fsl_raid: check fsl_re_chan_probe() return value

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Sat Jul 18 2026 - 19:15:33 EST


fsl_re_probe() ignores the return value of fsl_re_chan_probe() and
unconditionally increments total_chans. When a channel fails to probe
(for example, an IRQ mapping failure) its re_jrs[] slot is left NULL, yet
total_chans still advances, so fsl_re_remove_chan() later dereferences the
NULL pointer during device removal.

Propagate the error, only count successfully probed channels, and guard
fsl_re_remove() against NULL entries.

Fixes: ad80da658bbc ("dmaengine: Driver support for FSL RaidEngine device.")
