spi: topcliff-pch: fix controller deregistration

Make sure to deregister the controller before disabling and releasing underlying resources like interrupts and DMA during driver unbind.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

spi: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-09-29T23:12:23+00:00

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/spi to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer. The change for the spi-npcm-fiu stands out in the diffstat because the inconsistent formatting style of the platform_driver initializer is fixed to match the other struct initializer in the file.

spi: Replace all spi->chip_select and spi->cs_gpiod references with function call

2023-03-11T12:34:01+00:00

Supporting multi-cs in spi drivers would require the chip_select & cs_gpiod members of struct spi_device to be an array. But changing the type of these members to array would break the spi driver functionality. To make the transition smoother introduced four new APIs to get/set the spi->chip_select & spi->cs_gpiod and replaced all spi->chip_select and spi->cs_gpiod references with get or set API calls. While adding multi-cs support in further patches the chip_select & cs_gpiod members of the spi_device structure would be converted to arrays & the "idx" parameter of the APIs would be used as array index i.e., spi->chip_select[idx] & spi->cs_gpiod[idx] respectively.

spi: topcliff-pch: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-03-06T21:18:23+00:00

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

spi: topcliff-pch: Use core message validation

2022-06-20T11:43:36+00:00

The topcliff-pch driver requires TX and RX buffers on all transfers, open coding checks for this. Remove those open coded checks and instead rely on the core functionality, which has the added bonus that it will fix up any transfers submitted by drivers as needed rather than erroring out.

DMA device is expected to be available while SPI transfer is ongoing. Prevent usage of potentially stale DMA device by keeping reference count till the end of the transfer.
