Subject: [PATCH] Add a check for remove callback in spmi driver removal API
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2022 11:07:11 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1671601032-18397-1-git-send-email-quic_jprakash@quicinc.com> (raw)

When removing a SPMI driver, there can be a crash due to NULL pointer
dereference if it does not have a remove callback defined, as the remove
callback gets called directly in spmi_drv_remove(). This is one such call
trace observed when removing the QCOM SPMI PMIC driver:

If a driver has all its resources allocated through devm_() APIs and
does not need any other explicit cleanup, it would not require a
remove callback to be defined. The SPMI framework also does not enforce
the presence of a remove callback when a client driver registers with it.
Hence, add a check for remove callback presence before calling it
when removing a SPMI driver.
