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().
