Subject: [PATCH v2] serial: altera_jtaguart: handle uart_add_one_port() failures
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:56:57 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512065837.79528-1-mhun512@gmail.com> (raw)

altera_jtaguart_probe() maps the register window before registering the
UART port, but it ignores failures from uart_add_one_port(). If port
registration fails, probe still returns success and the mapping remains
live until a later remove path that is not part of probe failure cleanup.

Return the uart_add_one_port() error and unmap the register window on
that failure path.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

Fixes: 5bcd601049c6 ("serial: Add driver for the Altera JTAG UART")
