[PATCH] EDAC/highbank: manage mci lifetime via devres and simplify ioremap

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 17:13:43 EST


Replace the open-coded platform_get_resource() +
devm_request_mem_region() + devm_ioremap() sequence with the single
helper devm_platform_ioremap_resource(), and move platform_get_irq()
earlier, dropping the redundant -ENODEV/-EBUSY/-ENOMEM error paths.

highbank_mc_probe() requests its interrupt with devm_request_irq(),
passing mci as the handler context, but highbank_mc_remove() frees mci
via edac_mc_free() before devres releases the IRQ, leaving a
use-after-free window in the shared interrupt handler. Register an
edac_mc_free() callback via devm_add_action_or_reset() right after
edac_mc_alloc() so mci is owned by devres and freed only after the IRQ
is released. Drop the explicit edac_mc_free() from both the probe error
path and highbank_mc_remove(), and remove the now-redundant devres
group open/close/release calls.

Built for arm (CONFIG_EDAC_HIGHBANK) with LLVM=1;
drivers/edac/highbank_mc_edac.o compiles cleanly and passes checkpatch
--strict.
