Subject: [PATCH] spi: s3c64xx: fix NULL-deref on driver unbind
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 11:49:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410094925.518343-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
A change moving DMA channel allocation from probe() back to
s3c64xx_spi_prepare_transfer() failed to remove the corresponding
deallocation from remove().
Drop the bogus DMA channel release from remove() to avoid triggering a
NULL-pointer dereference on driver unbind.
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a controller
deregistration fix.
Fixes: f52b03c70744 ("spi: s3c64xx: requests spi-dma channel only during data transfer")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.0

Note that this one should be applied on top of the deregistration fixes:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260410081757.503099-1-johan@kernel.org/
to avoid a (trivial) conflict if applied in reverse order.
