[PATCH v2] serial: qcom-geni: Fix port_ida handling for console and probe errors
From: Aniket Randive
Date: Mon Aug 31 2026 - 07:14:32 EST
The console port uses a fixed line number and is not allocated from
port_ida. However, qcom_geni_serial_remove() unconditionally frees the
line number for all ports, including the console port.
Skip ida_free() for console ports so that only IDs allocated from
port_ida are returned.
Also release allocated IDs from the common probe error path. Currently,
IDs are freed only on the wake-IRQ failure path, causing leaks when
probe fails after a successful allocation. Move the ida_free() call to
the common error path and guard it for console ports.
Route resources_init() failures through the common error path so the
allocated line number is released correctly.
Allocate the port structure before calling ida_alloc_range() in
get_port_from_line(). This prevents IDs from being left allocated when
memory allocation fails.

Changes in v2:
- Route port->dev_data->resources_init() failures through the common
error path so allocated line numbers are not leaked.
- Allocate the port structure before ida_alloc_range() in
get_port_from_line() to prevent ID leaks on memory-allocation
failures.
