Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] wifi: carl9170: Revert "carl9170: devres-ing hwrng_register usage"
Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 02:39:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008-carl9170-reverts-v2-2-3ecb12089797@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008-carl9170-reverts-v2-0-3ecb12089797@gmail.com>
This reverts commit 23de0fa0d2a05ff71c7bc8df9d12c9f23be83f13.
carl9170_usb_disconnect() frees struct ar9170 inside .disconnect()
before devres release (and devres on &ar->udev->dev is not released
on interface unbind), leaving the embedded struct hwrng registered
on rng_list in freed memory. Furthermore, if carl9170_rng_get() fails
in carl9170_register_hwrng(), the HWRNG also remains registered while
ar is freed on the error path. Revert the devres conversion to restore
explicit HWRNG unregistration.
Fixes: 23de0fa0d2a0 ("carl9170: devres-ing hwrng_register usage")
