    drm/msm: Set drvdata to NULL when msm_drm_init() fails · 5620b135
    Stephen Boyd authored
    We should set the platform device's driver data to NULL here so that
    code doesn't assume the struct drm_device pointer is valid when it could
    have been destroyed. The lifetime of this pointer is managed by a kref
    but when msm_drm_init() fails we call drm_dev_put() on the pointer which
    will free the pointer's memory. This driver uses the component model, so
    there's sort of two "probes" in this file, one for the platform device
    i.e. msm_pdev_probe() and one for the component i.e. msm_drm_bind(). The
    msm_drm_bind() code is using the platform device's driver data to store
    struct drm_device so the two functions are intertwined.
    
    This relationship becomes a problem for msm_pdev_shutdown() when it
    tests the NULL-ness of the pointer to see if it should call
    drm_atomic_helper_shutdown(). The NULL test is a proxy check for if the
    pointer has been freed by kref_put(). If the drm_device has been
    destroyed, then we shouldn't call the shutdown helper, and we know that
    is the case if msm_drm_init() failed, therefore set the driver data to
    NULL so that this pointer liveness is tracked properly.
