[PATCH] phy: fsl-imx8mq-usb: fix vbus regulator leak on error paths
Posted by Felix Gu 5 days, 14 hours ago
In imx8mq_phy_power_on(), if clk_prepare_enable() fails after
regulator_enable() has succeeded, the vbus regulator is left
enabled. The same issue exists for the alt_clk error path.

Fix both by converting to the standard goto-based cleanup
pattern, ensuring the regulator is disabled when any
subsequent step fails.

I am fixing the bugs which are reported by sashiko-bot based on my previous
patch these days. And I already build a patchset to add runtime PM support
which will move all clock callbakcs to runtime operations. Therefore, this
patch is not needed anymore once runtime PM is ready.

Please refer to:

Thanks,
Xu Yang
