[PATCH] media: renesas: ceu: free device data if video device is unregistered
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 10:06:06 EST
ceu_probe() allocates ceudev, while ceu_remove() does not free it if the
video device has not been registered.
The video device is registered from the async notifier complete
callback, and its release callback is responsible for freeing ceudev.
If the device is removed before the notifier completes, or before video
device registration succeeds, video_unregister_device() does not invoke
the release callback and the ceudev allocation is leaked.
Check whether the video device was registered during remove. Unregister
it normally when registered so that its release callback handles the
final free, otherwise free ceudev directly.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
