Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] drm/panel: Add new helpers for refcounted panel allocatons
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 23:01:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110040023.284489-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051740-failed-6.12-4eeeac9d7c36@kernel.org>
From: Anusha Srivatsa <asrivats@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit ed9c594d495deb676825489032cee0a03ce29bf9 ]
Introduce reference counted allocations for panels to avoid
use-after-free. The patch adds the macro devm_drm_bridge_alloc()
to allocate a new refcounted panel. Followed the documentation for
drmm_encoder_alloc() and devm_drm_dev_alloc and other similar
implementations for this purpose.
