Subject: [PATCH] usb: musb: mediatek: fix child device leak
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 16:51:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921085119.308981-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
mtk_musb_probe() populates child platform devices using
of_platform_populate(), but neither the probe error paths nor the
driver remove path depopulate them.
If any initialization step after of_platform_populate() fails, the
probe returns without unregistering the populated child devices.
Likewise, the children remain registered when the driver is later
unbound.
Use devm_of_platform_populate() so the populated child devices are
automatically depopulated when probe fails or the driver is unbound.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
Fixes: 0990366bab3c ("usb: musb: Add support for MediaTek musb controller")
