Re: [PATCH v9 5/6] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: Add i2c controller node

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] Probe fails for generic Khadas MCU devices because match data evaluates to NULL.
- [Medium] The fan regulator is leaked on probe error and driver unbind.

--- Patch [5]: [PATCH v9 5/6] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: Add i2c controller node ---
commit b6b3cf68d983172e0dc3e121aff82af7de674ddb
Author: Ronald Claveau <linux-kernel-dev@aliel.fr>

arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: Add i2c controller node

Add the T7 i2c controller node used by the Khadas VIM4 for MCU communication.
Use amlogic,meson-axg-i2c as fallback compatible.

[Severity: High]
Does this check unintentionally abort probe for generic Khadas MCU devices?

Because KHADAS_MCU_GENERIC is 0, the data field in the match table is
effectively a null pointer:

    { .compatible = "khadas,mcu", .data = (void *)KHADAS_MCU_GENERIC }

When khadas_mcu_probe() is called for a generic device, i2c_get_match_data()
returns NULL. The check for (!match) is met, and the driver unconditionally
returns -ENODEV. This causes a regression for all generic Khadas MCU boards.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this leak the regulator on probe error or driver unbind?

If devm_thermal_of_child_cooling_device_register() fails later in
khadas_mcu_fan_probe(), the function returns without calling
regulator_disable().

Additionally, there is no remove callback in khadas_mcu_fan_driver:

static struct platform_driver khadas_mcu_fan_driver = {
    .probe      = khadas_mcu_fan_probe,
    .shutdown   = khadas_mcu_fan_shutdown,
    .driver = { ...

This means the regulator is not cleanly disabled when the driver is unbound,
which could leave the reference leaked and prevent the regulator from ever
being powered down.
