Subject: [PATCH] watchdog: starfive-wdt: fix PM reference leak in probe error path
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:50:22 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914165022.169877-1-skunkolee@gmail.com> (raw)
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() increments the runtime PM usage counter
on success. If a later step in probe() fails (reset_init, clock rate
check, watchdog_start, or watchdog_register_device), control reaches
err_exit, which calls pm_runtime_disable() but never puts the
reference, leaking the PM usage count.
Add a pm_runtime_put_sync() call in err_exit, gated on
pm_runtime_enabled(), to balance the earlier get.
Fixes: db728ea9c7be ("drivers: watchdog: Add StarFive Watchdog driver")
