Subject: [PATCH] device property: set fwnode->secondary to NULL in fwnode_init()
Date: Wed,  6 May 2026 13:57:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506115701.23035-1-bartosz.golaszewski@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)

If a firmware node is allocated on the stack (for instance: temporary
software node whose life-time we control) or on the heap - but using a
non-zeroing allocation function - and initialized using fwnode_init(),
its secondary pointer will contain uninitalized memory which likely will
be neither NULL nor IS_ERR() and so may end up being dereferenced (for
example: in dev_to_swnode()). Set fwnode->secondary to NULL on
initialization.

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 01bb86b380a3 ("driver core: Add fwnode_init()")
