Re: [PATCH 1/3] PCI: dra7xx: Fix clock enable leak on probe failure

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Missing cleanup of custom INTx IRQ domain and chained handlers on probe failure paths.
- [High] Missing `.remove` callback in a loadable module driver leaves hardware active and leaks resources, leading to Use-After-Free.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH 1/3] PCI: dra7xx: Fix clock enable leak on probe failure ---

PCI: dra7xx: Fix clock enable leak on probe failure

dra7xx_pcie_probe() enables the optional clock but never disables it
when probing fails afterwards.

Switch to devm_clk_get_optional_enabled(), which disables the clock
automatically on failure.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but doesn't this error path
permanently leak the custom IRQ domain?

If dra7xx_add_pcie_port() fails during its internal dw_pcie_host_init() call,
it returns an error without cleaning up the IRQ domain and chained handler it
just created via dra7xx_pcie_init_irq_domain().

Since the probe error path goes straight to err_gpio:, we skip err_deinit:
and the domain is never removed. Because the pci and dra7xx structures are
devm-allocated, they are automatically freed on probe failure.

If the shared IRQ fires afterwards, won't the dangling chained handler
dereference the freed pointer and cause a panic?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this driver need a .remove callback?

This driver can be built as a loadable module, but lacks a .remove callback.
When the module is unloaded, the driver core will unbind the device and
devres will release memory and unmap IO.

However, since there is no explicit teardown, pm_runtime_disable() is
skipped, the PHY is never disabled, dw_pcie_host_deinit() is not called,
and the custom IRQ domain and chained handlers are left active.

Does this guarantee a use-after-free when the chained interrupt handler
later accesses the devres-freed memory?
