Subject: [PATCH] mfd: core - make sure children are cells during mfd_remove_devices
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:01:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322506891-17006-1-git-send-email-jeff.dagenais@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2F9D884C-6B95-4F81-8445-8056676B28D8@sonatest.com>

The MFD core assumes that all children of a parent MFD device are platform
devices and cells. This may not always be the case.

For example a PCI driver may register it's BAR0 with UIO (that creates a child
device) and also declare MFD cells which use resources of the PCI device. In
such a scenario, mfd_remove_devices would fall upon the UIO device, treat it
as a platform_device (which its not), then proceed to dereference the cell
pointer, which is then arbitrary memory.

This commit make mfd_remove_device use the bus_for_each_dev to find the true
platform devices under a given parent, and further checks if the cell pointer
is set to really make sure the given device is what we think it is.
