Subject: [PATCH 5.10,5.15,6.1,6.6 RESEND] leds: spi-byte: Initialize device node before access
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:45:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251231004510.1732543-2-ynaffit@google.com> (raw)

Commit 7f9ab862e05c ("leds: spi-byte: Call of_node_put() on error path")
was merged in 6.11 and then backported to stable trees through 5.10. It
relocates the line that initializes the variable 'child' to a later
point in spi_byte_probe().

Versions < 6.9 do not have commit ccc35ff2fd29 ("leds: spi-byte: Use
devm_led_classdev_register_ext()"), which removes a line that reads a
property from 'child' before its new initialization point. Consequently,
spi_byte_probe() reads from an uninitialized device node in stable
kernels 6.6-5.10.

Initialize 'child' before it is first accessed.

Fixes: 7f9ab862e05c ("leds: spi-byte: Call of_node_put() on error path")
Signed-off-by: Tiffany Yang <ynaffit@google.com>

As an alternative to moving the initialization of 'child' up,
Fedor Pchelkin proposed [1] backporting the change that removes the
intermediate access.
