Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] pps: clients: gpio: only tear down the echo timer when it exists
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 10:30:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922103051.5257-3-farbere@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922103051.5257-1-farbere@amazon.com>

remove() calls timer_delete_sync() on data->echo_timer unconditionally,
but the timer is only initialised by timer_setup() in probe() when the
board describes an "echo" GPIO. On a board without echo-gpios the timer is
never set up, so remove() operates on a timer_list that was never
initialised.

The guard used to be there: it was dropped by commit fde046a8c490 ("pps:
clients: gpio: Remove redundant condition in ->remove()") on the grounds
that "the timer along with GPIO API are NULL-aware". That is true for the
GPIO API - gpiod_set_value() is a no-op for a NULL descriptor - but not
for the timer: timer_delete_sync() on a timer that was never timer_setup()
initialised trips the debug_assert_init() check and emits a debugobjects
"not initialized" warning under CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS.

Restore the data->echo_pin guard around the echo teardown, mirroring the
condition under which the timer is set up in probe(). gpiod_set_value() is
kept under the same guard as it only makes sense together with the echo
timer.

Fixes: fde046a8c490 ("pps: clients: gpio: Remove redundant condition in ->remove()")

Changes in v5:
- New patch. Split out because patch 4 mirrors remove()'s teardown in the
  new shutdown(); guarding the echo teardown here first keeps that latent
  issue out of both paths (Rodolfo Giometti)
