This series contains one fix and two cleanups for the Broadcom pin
controllers.
Patch 1 fixes an off-by-one and out-of-bounds read in the STB pin
controller driver that was added in v6.18. The FSEL register field is
a 1-based function number -- 0 means GPIO, 1..n_funcs select
funcs[0..n_funcs - 1] -- but brcmstb_pinctrl_fsel_get() uses the raw
field value as a 0-based index into funcs[]. Every readback is
therefore shifted by one entry, and the value 8, which
brcmstb_pinctrl_fsel_set() accepts as the eighth alternate function,
reads funcs[8] and trips KASAN when the pin state is printed through
debugfs.
Patches 2 and 3 replace hand-written dt_free_map callbacks with
pinconf_generic_dt_free_map(). Both drivers already call
pinconf_generic_dt_node_to_map_*() for dt_node_to_map and already
select GENERIC_PINCONF, so the generic helper is the matching
counterpart, and the open-coded free loop just duplicates what
pinctrl_utils_free_map() already does. No functional change is
intended for the map types the existing device trees use.
Patch 1 was tested on a Raspberry Pi 5 with KASAN enabled. Before the
change, writing "gpio45 alt8" to pinmux-select and then reading pins
triggers a global-out-of-bounds splat in brcmstb_pctl_pin_dbg_show();
after the change the same sequence reports "function spi_m" without
a warning, and a register field value of 0 reports "gpio".
The series is based on v7.4-rc1 and has no inter-patch dependencies.

brcmstb_pinctrl_fsel_get() takes the value read from the pin's FSEL
register and uses it directly as an index into
pc->pin_funcs[pin].funcs[]:
fsel = (val >> BIT_TO_SHIFT(bit)) & pc->pin_funcs[pin].func_mask;
func = pc->pin_funcs[pin].funcs[fsel];
That is not how the register field is encoded. The setter,
brcmstb_pinctrl_fsel_set(), treats 0 as GPIO, 1..n_funcs as
funcs[0..n_funcs - 1], rejects n_funcs + 1 and above, and n_funcs is
always BRCMSTB_FSEL_COUNT (8). The field is therefore a 1-based function
number, while funcs[] is a 0-based array of eight entries.
Every readback is consequently shifted by one slot, and a field value of
8 -- which the setter accepts, being the eighth and last alternate
function -- indexes funcs[8], one element past the end of the array.
This is reachable from userspace without supplying any invalid input:
# echo "gpio45 alt8" > .../pinmux-select
# cat .../pins
The write is an ordinary mux request that fsel_set() accepts; the read
that follows goes through pinctrl_pins_show() ->
brcmstb_pctl_pin_dbg_show() -> fsel_get() and triggers KASAN on
Raspberry Pi 5:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in brcmstb_pctl_pin_dbg_show
Read of size 1 at addr ffffa07c577ab2e8 by task cat/839
The buggy address belongs to the variable:
__compound_literal.62+0x8/0x40
A field value of 0 has the same root cause in a milder form: it is
reported as funcs[0] instead of GPIO. The mux itself is programmed
correctly in both cases, so this affects the debugfs readback and KASAN
rather than the hardware configuration.
Handle 0 and out-of-range values explicitly, and index funcs[] with
fsel - 1, so that the getter uses the same numbering as the setter and
the index can no longer go past funcs[n_funcs - 1]. The existing
fallback for func__ placeholder entries is kept:
if (!fsel)
return pc->func_gpio;
if (fsel > pc->pin_funcs[pin].n_funcs) {
dev_warn(pc->dev,
"invalid fsel %d for pin %u\n", fsel, pin);
return pc->func_gpio;
}
func = pc->pin_funcs[pin].funcs[fsel - 1];
Tested on Raspberry Pi 5 with KASAN enabled. Before the fix, writing
"gpio45 alt8" to .../pinmux-select and then reading .../pins triggers
the splat above. After the fix the same sequence reports
"function spi_m" with no warning and no splat, and a register field
value of 0 reports "gpio". The register is restored to 0 afterwards.

Replace the hand-written dt_free_map callback with the generic
pinconf_generic_dt_free_map() helper, which wraps
pinctrl_utils_free_map(). This drops the duplicated free loop and
handles both CONFIGS_PIN and CONFIGS_GROUP map types.
The error path in bcm2835_pctl_dt_node_to_map() uses the same helper.
The driver already selects GENERIC_PINCONF, so no Kconfig change is
needed.

I think this deserves a Fixes: tag because it fixes a memory leak,
generic allocation can allocate PIN_MAP_TYPE_CONFIGS_GROUP, but the
custom callback does not free that allocation type:
