drm/mediatek: Add missing IS_ERR check for ovl_adaptor platform devicegrafted
platform_device_register_data() can fail and return an ERR_PTR, but the
return value is used without checking, leading to an invalid pointer
being stored in ddp_comp[].dev and passed to component_match_add() and
mtk_ddp_comp_init(), which could result in a kernel crash.
Add an IS_ERR() check to jump to the error handling path on failure.

"FDSTORE=1\nFDNAME=foo")``. + +Services may also create their own LUO sessions (via ``/dev/liveupdate``) and +push the resulting session fds into their file descriptor store like any other +fd. systemd detects such session fds and handles them accordingly, and +hands the re-retrieved session fd back to the service after kexec, using the +existing file descriptor store service interface. + +For details, see: + +- `File Descriptor Store <https://systemd.io/FILE_DESCRIPTOR_STORE/>`_ +- `systemd.service(5) FileDescriptorStorePreserve= + <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.service.html#FileDescriptorStorePreserve=>`_ +- `sd_pid_notify_with_fds(3) + <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/sd_pid_notify_with_fds.html>`_ + +See Also +======== + +- :doc:`Live Update Orchestrator </core-api/liveupdate>` |
