[PATCH v3] drm: panel-lvds: Potential Oops in probe error handling

Dan Carpenter dan.carpenter at oracle.com
Wed Sep 11 10:49:28 UTC 2019


The "lvds->backlight" pointer could be NULL in situations where
of_parse_phandle() returns NULL.  This code is cleaner if we use the
managed devm_of_find_backlight() so the clean up is automatic.

Fixes: 7c9dff5bd643 ("drm: panels: Add LVDS panel driver")

v3: Use devm_of_find_backlight().  This version is quite a bit more
    ambitious, and I haven't tested it so please review carefully.
v2: Use backlight_put()
