Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (npcm750-pwm-fan): stop fan timer on device detach
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 18:01:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729100116.790-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
When a fan tach channel is present, npcm7xx_pwm_fan_probe() starts
fan_timer. The timer callback polls tach state and rearms the timer, but
the driver has no remove callback or devm cleanup action to stop it. On
device detach, the devm-managed driver data and I/O mappings can be
released while the timer is still pending or running.
Register a devm cleanup action before starting the timer and shut the
timer down synchronously from that action.
This issue was found by a static analysis tool.
Fixes: f1fd4a4db777 ("hwmon: Add NPCM7xx PWM and Fan driver")

v2:
- pass the fan timer directly to the cleanup action
- keep the timer expiration assignment in its original location
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hwmon/20260728075535.251-1-getshell@seu.edu.cn/
