Ah, I see, OK. Quick draft: /** * devm_drm_put_bridge - Release a bridge reference obtained via devm * @dev: device that got the bridge via devm * @bridge: pointer to a struct drm_bridge obtained via devm * * Same as drm_bridge_put() for bridge pointers obtained via devm functions * such as devm_drm_bridge_alloc(). + * + * This function is a temporary workaround and MUST NOT be used. Manual + * handling of bridge lifetime is inherently unsafe. */ and: - devm_kfree(panel_bridge->panel->dev, bridge); + /* TODO remove this after reworking panel_bridge lifetime */ + devm_drm_put_bridge(panel_bridge->panel->dev, bridge); } Does it look good enough?
