Subject: [PATCH] spi: axiado: fix use-after-free on probe failure
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 11:28:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312102811.29223-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
The SPI controller allocation is device managed and must not be released
before returning on probe failures (e.g. probe deferral) to avoid
use-after-free.
Fixes: e75a6b00ad79 ("spi: axiado: Add driver for Axiado SPI DB controller")
