Subject: [PATCH v2] spi: spi-sprd-adi: Fix double free in probe error path
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2026 20:49:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tencent_AC7D389CE7E24318445E226F7CDCCC2F0D07@qq.com> (raw)

The driver currently uses spi_alloc_host() to allocate the controller
but registers it using devm_spi_register_controller().

If devm_register_restart_handler() fails, the code jumps to the
put_ctlr label and calls spi_controller_put(). However, since the
controller was registered via a devm function, the device core will
automatically call spi_controller_put() again when the probe fails.
This results in a double-free of the spi_controller structure.

Fix this by switching to devm_spi_alloc_host() and removing the
manual spi_controller_put() call.

Fixes: ac17750 ("spi: sprd: Add the support of restarting the system")
