Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] hwmon: (npcm750-pwm-fan): stop fan timer on device detach
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 10:46:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812144631.2227395-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026080503-visor-oboe-4814@gregkh>

From: Hongyan Xu <getshell@seu.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit f27f6976ea269219c1259a7c2f8c6dfe782540a3 ]

When a fan tach channel is present, npcm7xx_pwm_fan_probe() starts
fan_timer. The timer callback polls tach state and rearms the timer, but
the driver has no remove callback or devm cleanup action to stop it. On
device detach, the devm-managed driver data and I/O mappings can be
released while the timer is still pending or running.

Register a devm cleanup action before starting the timer and shut the
timer down synchronously from that action.

This issue was found by a static analysis tool.

[ changed `timer_shutdown_sync()` to `timer_delete_sync()` since the former is absent in 5.10 ]
