Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] pinctrl: aspeed: Use managed pinctrl registration
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2026 07:59:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106022907.10735-2-prasanth.padarthi10@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106022907.10735-1-prasanth.padarthi10@gmail.com>
The shared Aspeed probe helper registers its controller with
pinctrl_register(), but does not unregister it when the device is
unbound. Registration can therefore outlive device-managed callback
data, leaving a registered controller with pointers to freed memory.
The G6 handover change in this series embeds that data in a
device-managed allocation.
Use devm_pinctrl_register() so controller teardown runs before earlier
devres allocations are released. This also cleans up the registration
if later probe processing fails.
With this change and the G6 handover patch, one unbind/rebind cycle
passed under generic KASAN in AST2600 QEMU and on B650D4U hardware.
Controller debugfs entries disappeared on unbind and returned on
rebind; a subsequent pins read succeeded without observed KASAN
reports. The unfixed control case has not been runtime-tested.
