Subject: [PATCH 23/28] mfd: ab8500-core: Register sysfs attribute groups via devm_device_add_group()
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:09:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021121245.3111563-23-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021121245.3111563-1-lee@kernel.org>

ab8500_probe() registers up to two sysfs attribute groups with
sysfs_create_group().  On AB8505 and AB9540 (cut 2.0 and later), the
second sysfs_create_group() call unconditionally overwrites the return
value of the first, and if the second call fails, ab8500_probe() returns
an error without removing the first group.  Because the driver context
is freed and driver data is cleared on probe failure, reading any leaked
sysfs attribute dereferences a NULL ab8500 pointer in
get_register_interruptible().

Register the attribute groups via devm_device_add_group() and only
register the second group when the first succeeds so that devres
automatically cleans up registered sysfs attributes on probe failure.

Fixes: 93ff722e8853 ("ab8500-fg: Add power cut feature for ab8505 and ab8540")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-a9ac1a9d-5a97-4ad3-b4c5-c7775c24a333
