Subject: [PATCH v2] i2c: mxs: fix DMA channel leak on probe error
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 23:17:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815151720.3757460-1-ruoyuw560@gmail.com> (raw)
mxs_i2c_probe() requests an exclusive DMA channel before resetting the
controller and registering the I2C adapter. If either later operation
fails, probe returns without releasing the channel because the remove
callback is not invoked after a failed probe.
Use devm_dma_request_chan() so the device core releases the channel on
probe failure and driver detach. Remove the manual release from the
remove callback because the channel is now device-managed.
This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
Fixes: 62885f59a261 ("MXS: Implement DMA support into mxs-i2c")
Assisted-by: unnamed:claude-opus-4.8 typestate

Changes in v2:
- Use devm_dma_request_chan() instead of explicit error unwinding.
- Remove the now-redundant manual release in remove().
- Add the Assisted-by tag.
