[PATCH v2] Input: tca8418_keypad - Add devm cleanup to disable interrupts on unload

From: Zhian Liang

Date: Thu Sep 03 2026 - 17:10:00 EST


tca8418_configure() enables TCA8418 interrupts by writing the CFG
register. If input_register_device() fails afterwards, probe returns
an error and devres releases the IRQ handler, but the hardware is
left with interrupts still enabled.

Fix it by registering a devm action that clears the CFG register
when the device is released, disabling
all interrupts on both probe failure and driver unbind.
