Subject: [PATCH v1] iio: temperature: hid-sensor-temperature: switch to non-devm iio_device_register()
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:51:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622052135.1804135-1-sanjayembedded@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Sanjay Chitroda <sanjayembeddedse@gmail.com>

Avoid using devm_iio_device_register(), as this driver requires explicit
error handling and teardown ordering.

Mixing devm_* APIs with goto-based error unwinding breaks the expected
LIFO resource release model and can introduce race windows during device
removal. In particular, the IIO device may remain visible to userspace
while dependent resources are already being freed, potentially leading
to use-after-free issues.

Add explicit iio_device_unregister() call in the teardown path to ensure
deterministic cleanup and follow kernel resource management conventions.

Fixes: 59d0f2da3569 ("iio: hid: Add temperature sensor support")
