Subject: [PATCH 0/2] mfd: twlx030: i2c remove callback cleanup
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2022 11:14:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220113101430.12869-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Hello,

the remove paths of the twl4030 chip can fail and then returns an error
code in twl_remove() early. This isn't a good thing, because the device
will still go away with some resources not freed.
For the twl6030 this cannot happen, and the first patch is just a small
cleanup. For the twl4030 the situation is improved a bit: When the
failure happens, the dummy slave devices are removed now.

Note that twl4030_exit_irq() is incomplete. The irq isn't freed and
maybe some more cleanup is missing which might boom if an irq triggers
after the device is removed. Not sure that twl6030_exit_irq() is better
in this regard.

I noticed this issue because I work on making i2c_driver::remove return
void as returning a value != 0 there is almost always an error attached
to wrong expectations.

Best regards
Uwe
