Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: cix: validate channel parameters early and convert to dev_err_probe
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:12:15 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724084215.51749-1-kr494167@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167@gmail.com>
cix_mbox_startup() checked fast channel index constraints (index < 0 ||
index > CIX_MBOX_FAST_IDX) inside the channel switch block after
calling request_irq(). If validation failed, it triggered a free_irq()
cleanup path. Validating channel parameters prior to request_irq()
avoids unnecessary IRQ registration/teardown churn.
In addition, cix_mbox_probe() logged property errors referencing
"cix,mbox_dir" (with an underscore) instead of the actual DT property
name "cix,mbox-dir". Convert cix_mbox_probe() error paths to use
dev_err_probe() and fix the DT property string spelling.
Fixes: fe2aa2361ddb ("mailbox: add CIX mailbox driver")
