[PATCH] mfd: twl-core: Reset twl_priv using devm_add_action_or_reset()
From: Lee Jones
Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 06:09:16 EST
Register a devres cleanup action immediately after allocating twl_priv
with devm_kzalloc() so that twl_priv is automatically reset to NULL just
before its underlying memory is released on probe failure or driver
unbind. This removes the need to manually clear twl_priv in both
twl_remove() and the probe error unwind path.
