Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.12] mailbox: imx: use devm_of_platform_populate()
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 09:23:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831133314.4125787-194-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

[ Upstream commit dd1b321e8024fb01404fe163076c9010c5df8608 ]
The driver uses of_platform_populate() but does not remove the added
devices on removal. This can lead to "double devices" on module removal
followed by adding the module again.
Use devm_of_platform_populate() to remove the populated devices once the
parent device is removed.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
The analysis is complete for **Linux 6.18.44**.
**Verdict: YES** — backport `mailbox: imx: use
devm_of_platform_populate()` (`dd1b321e8024f`).
The bug is present in this tree: `of_platform_populate()` was added in
v6.9 (`2a0ac450128bc`) for i.MX95 SCMI SRAM sub-nodes, but
`imx_mu_remove()` never depopulates them. On module reload or sysfs
unbind/rebind, child platform devices can be duplicated and break SCMI
setup.
The fix is a one-line change to `devm_of_platform_populate(dev)` at line
943 of `drivers/mailbox/imx-mailbox.c`. The mainline patch needs a minor
context adjustment to apply here, but no functional rework.
