Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] regulator: of: state who owns the array from of_regulator_bulk_get_all()
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 20:13:04 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-regulator-get-all-v2-2-ca82070d22f2@flipper.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930-regulator-get-all-v2-0-ca82070d22f2@flipper.net>
of_regulator_bulk_get_all() allocates the consumer array and hands it to
the caller, but never said so. Its own error path frees the array, while
regulator_bulk_free() only puts the regulators, so both callers release
the regulators and leak the array.
Spell the contract out in the kerneldoc.
