Subject: [PATCH] i2c: mxs: fix DMA channel leak on probe error
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 21:40:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814134033.1386874-1-ruoyuw560@gmail.com> (raw)

dma_request_chan() grants the driver exclusive use of the channel until
dma_release_channel() is called. If controller reset or I2C adapter
registration fails after the request, mxs_i2c_probe() returns without
releasing it. The failed probe does not invoke mxs_i2c_remove(), so the
channel remains allocated and can prevent a later probe from acquiring
it.

Release the DMA channel on both post-request error paths. Keep the
adapter-registration unwind ordered after the existing controller reset.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
