[PATCH v2] net: lan966x: avoid unregistering netdev on register failure
Posted by Myeonghun Pak 1 month, 1 week ago
lan966x_probe_port() stores the newly allocated net_device in the
port before calling register_netdev(). If register_netdev() fails,
the probe error path calls lan966x_cleanup_ports(), which sees
port->dev and calls unregister_netdev() for a device that was never
registered.

Destroy the phylink instance created for this port and clear port->dev
before returning the registration error, matching the existing guard
used by the common cleanup path. Also require port->dev to be non-NULL
before matching it against the FDMA netdev, so the error path cannot treat
an uninitialized FDMA netdev and a failed port as a valid match.

Changes in v2:
- Require port->dev to be non-NULL before calling the FDMA netdev cleanup
  path, avoiding a NULL == NULL match when register_netdev() fails before
  FDMA NAPI has been initialized.

Maybe this is better?

		port = lan966x->ports[p];
		if (!port || port->dev)
			continue;

		unregister_netdev(port->dev);
