[PATCH] i2c: qup: Release DMA channels if interconnect lookup fails

From: Yige Jiang

Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 02:43:32 EST


qup_i2c_probe() acquires both BAM DMA channels before getting its
interconnect path. If devm_of_icc_get() fails, the direct return
skips fail_dma and leaks both channels, including when probe is
deferred. A later probe can no longer acquire those channels.

Keep the reported error code and jump to fail_dma to release the
channels. This avoids the clock and MMIO cleanup, which have not
been initialized at this point.

Based on linux-next next-20261102 (2637bdec0535).
Compile-tested: arm64, GCC 14.2.0, W=1, CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC=y.
COMPILE_TEST=y.
Baseline and patched target objects built from this exact base.
No full kernel/module-link, hardware or runtime test was performed.
AI assistance was used for analysis and patch preparation.

The error needs an interconnect provider failure/defer after DMA setup.
No in-tree QUP I2C DT with the needed interconnects property was identified.
