[RFC PATCH 6.6.y 1/4] misc: ti-st: publish the transport only after probe succeeds
From: Hongyan Xu
Date: Fri Jul 24 2026 - 01:29:23 EST
kim_probe() stores the platform device in st_kim_devices[] before the
transport core and the remaining resources are initialized. If a later
probe step fails, st_kim_ref() can follow that published device to freed
driver data.
Publish the device only after probe has completed, and clear drvdata when
rolling probe back.
Fixes: 53618cc1e51e ("Staging: sources for ST core")
