From bce7698e2e6565bb765bd0522337f29f5f312624 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haojie Li Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 18:08:45 +0800 Subject: drm/mediatek: Add missing IS_ERR check for ovl_adaptor platform device 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.

Some of the core intentions of the FPGA subsystems are: + +* The FPGA subsystem is vendor agnostic. + +* The FPGA subsystem separates upper layers (userspace interfaces and + enumeration) from lower layers that know how to program a specific + FPGA. + +* Code should not be shared between upper and lower layers. This + should go without saying. If that seems necessary, there's probably + framework functionality that can be added that will benefit + other users. Write the linux-fpga mailing list and maintainers and + seek out a solution that expands the framework for broad reuse. + +* Generally, when adding code, think of the future. Plan for reuse. + +The framework in the kernel is divided into: + +FPGA Manager +------------ + +If you are adding a new FPGA or a new method of programming an FPGA, +this is the subsystem for you. Low level FPGA manager drivers contain +the knowledge of how to program a specific device. This subsystem +includes the framework in fpga-mgr.c and the low level drivers that +are registered with it. + +FPGA Bridge +----------- + +FPGA Bridges prevent spurious signals from going out of an FPGA or a +region of an FPGA during programming. They are disabled before +programming begins and re-enabled afterwards. An FPGA bridge may be +actual hard hardware that gates a bus to a CPU or a soft ("freeze") +bridge in FPGA fabric that surrounds a partial reconfiguration region +of an FPGA. This subsystem includes fpga-bridge.c and the low level +drivers that are registered with it. + +FPGA Region +----------- + +If you are adding a new interface to the FPGA framework, add it on top +of an FPGA region. + +The FPGA Region framework (fpga-region.c) associates managers and +bridges as reconfigurable regions. A region may refer to the whole +FPGA in full reconfiguration or to a partial reconfiguration region. + +The Device Tree FPGA Region support (of-fpga-region.c) handles +reprogramming FPGAs when device tree overlays are applied. -- cgit v1.3.1
