Subject: [PATCH 0/3 1/3] auxdisplay: line-display: add devm_linedisp_register()
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 08:15:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819024556.63534-2-kr494167@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819024556.63534-1-kr494167@gmail.com>
From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167@gmail.com>
Add devm_linedisp_register() to manage character line display registration
via devres. This simplifies driver cleanup and prevents use-after-free
bugs when unregistering line displays on driver detach.
