Subject: [PATCH] usb: cdns3: imx: fix kernel panic on remove due to kfree of static platform_data
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 16:49:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019084944.2051097-1-xu.yang_2@oss.nxp.com> (raw)
From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@nxp.com>
When cdns_imx_remove() calls of_platform_depopulate(), the child
platform device is destroyed. platform_device_release() then calls
kfree(pdev->dev.platform_data), but cdns3-imx assigns a pointer to
a static global variable as platform_data, so kfree() on it triggers
a kernel panic.
[ 56.809541] Call trace:
[ 56.811982] kfree+0x44/0x398 (P)
[ 56.815300] platform_device_release+0x24/0x4c
[ 56.819747] device_release+0x3c/0xa0
[ 56.823413] kobject_put+0xa0/0x120
[ 56.826906] klist_children_put+0x18/0x28
[ 56.830920] klist_prev+0xb4/0x1c0
[ 56.834325] device_for_each_child_reverse+0x7c/0xc8
[ 56.839294] of_platform_depopulate+0x34/0x80
[ 56.843664] cdns_imx_remove+0x34/0xcc [cdns3_imx]
Fix this by iterating over child devices and clearing platform_data
to NULL before of_platform_depopulate() is called, preventing the
invalid kfree().
