Subject: [PATCH v3 03/10] i2c: core: fix NULL-deref on adapter registration failure
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 16:37:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260511143715.729714-4-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260511143715.729714-1-johan@kernel.org>

If adapter registration ever fails the release callback would trigger a
NULL-pointer dereference as the completion struct has not been
initialised.

Note that before the offending commit this would instead have resulted
in a minor memory leak of the adapter name.

Fixes: 3f8c4f5e9a57 ("i2c: core: fix reference leak in i2c_register_adapter()")
