Subject: [PATCH v2] thermal/drivers/rcar: fix error checking in probe()
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:02:53 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ajvVfSusxZfjNxVN@stanley.mountain> (raw)
This code accidentally calls thermal_zone_device_enable() before checking
whether thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() failed. Move the call
until later to avoid an error pointer dereference of "priv->zone".
The driver works differently depending on if we are using OF thermal or
not. We use thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() if we are using OF thermal and
call thermal_zone_device_enable() if not.
Moving the thermal_zone_device_enable() call is a bit cleaner as well.
The original code used a three step process to cleanup:
1. Call thermal_zone_device_unregister() to cleanup.
2. Set priv->zone to an error pointer to preserve the error code.
3. Set priv->zone to NULL to avoid a second call to
thermal_zone_device_unregister() in the rcar_thermal_remove()
function.
Now we can just do a direct goto error_unregister and rcar_thermal_remove()
handles the cleanup properly.
Fixes: bbcf90c0646a ("thermal: Explicitly enable non-changing thermal zone devices")

v2: Use the correct fixes tag and re-write the check in a cleaner way.
