Subject: [PATCH 4/6] backlight: qcom-wled: Manage teardown via devres and remove wled_remove()
Date: Wed,  4 Nov 2026 18:39:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104183935.1214630-5-lee@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104183935.1214630-1-lee@kernel.org>

wled_remove() currently runs before devres tears down the backlight
device and threaded interrupts, resulting in two teardown bugs:

1. mutex_destroy(&wled->lock) and cancel_delayed_work_sync(&wled->ovp_work)
   execute while the backlight device registered via
   devm_backlight_device_register() and the short interrupt requested
   via devm_request_threaded_irq() are still active.  A concurrent sysfs
   brightness update or short interrupt during unbind can acquire the
   destroyed mutex and re-schedule wled->ovp_work before devres frees
   the wled structure.

2. disable_irq(wled->short_irq) and disable_irq(wled->ovp_irq) are
   called unconditionally even when the optional "short" or "ovp"
   interrupts are absent from the Device Tree (-ENXIO) or unused (0 on
   WLED3), passing invalid IRQ numbers to disable_irq(), despite both
   interrupts already being managed by devm_request_threaded_irq().

Initialise wled->lock with devm_mutex_init() and remove wled_remove()
so that devres tears down the backlight device, short interrupt,
delayed work, OVP interrupt, mutex, and driver data in reverse
registration order.
