[PATCH v3 0/4] media: renesas: Fix missing media_entity_cleanup()

[PATCH v3 0/4] media: renesas: Fix missing media_entity_cleanup()

[Biren Pandya]

Hi all,

This patch series addresses missing `media_entity_cleanup()` calls across
multiple Renesas platform drivers (`rcar-csi2`, `csisp`, `rcar-vin`, and
`rzg2l-cru`).

While `media_entity_cleanup()` is currently a no-op when
CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is disabled (and even when enabled in modern
kernels, as pads are rarely dynamically allocated anymore), the media
subsystem guidelines strictly require drivers to call it to prevent future
leaks if the core framework behavior changes.

Changes in v3:
- Addressed maintainer feedback from Jacopo Mondi to fix an unused-label
  compilation error in `rcar-csi2.c`. The teardown inversion is now handled
  cleanly inside the existing error path without requiring a new label.

Changes in v2:
- Introduced dedicated error labels in probe paths where shared error labels
  previously caused `media_entity_cleanup()` to be skipped or improperly
  called.

  media: renesas: csisp: Add missing media_entity_cleanup()
  media: renesas: rcar-core: Add missing media_entity_cleanup()
  media: renesas: rzg2l-core: Add missing media_entity_cleanup()

It's hard to guess right now as media_entity_cleanup() is a nop,
but it would feel more safe to first cleanup subdev.entity and then
subdev itself

	media_entity_cleanup(&priv->subdev.entity);
 	v4l2_subdev_cleanup(&priv->subdev);

However, the probe() error path already does it in reverse, order,
so...

[PATCH v3 2/4] media: renesas: csisp: Add missing media_entity_cleanup()

[Biren Pandya]

The probe error path and the remove function fail to call
media_entity_cleanup() upon teardown.

While currently a no-op in most cases, calling media_entity_cleanup()
is an API requirement for entities initialized with media_entity_pads_init()
to prevent memory leaks.

Add the missing media_entity_cleanup() calls. Furthermore, introduce a
dedicated error_entity label in the probe error path to ensure the cleanup
is only invoked if media_entity_pads_init() has successfully completed.

Empty line please

It could be added when applying though

[PATCH v3 4/4] media: renesas: rzg2l-core: Add missing media_entity_cleanup()

[Biren Pandya]

The remove function fails to call media_entity_cleanup() upon teardown.

While currently a no-op in most cases, calling media_entity_cleanup()
is an API requirement for entities initialized with media_entity_pads_init()
to prevent memory leaks.

Add the missing media_entity_cleanup() call in rzg2l_cru_remove().

While at it, you could consider patching the error path in
rzg2l_cru_media_init()
