I'm not quite sure about this. I believe that in this case devfreq->profile->exit() would be exynos4_bus_exit() and all it does is devfreq_unregister_opp_notifier(dev, data->devfreq), so all remaining resources (regulators, clocks, etc.) would get leaked.

This patch execute following sequence to probe exynos4_busfreq.c:

1. Parse dt node to get resource(regulator/clock/memory address).
2. Enable regulator/clock and map memory.
3. Add devfreq device using devfreq_add_device().
    The devfreq_add_device() return devfreq instance(data->devfreq).
4. Register opp_notifier using devfreq instance(data->devfreq) which is created in sequence #3.

Case 1,
If an error happens in sequence #3 for registering devfreq_add_device(),

this case can't execute devfreq->profile->exit() to free resource
because this case has failed to register devfreq->profile to devfreq_list.

So, must goto 'err_devfreq' statement to free resource(regulator/clock/memory).


Case 2,
If an error happens in sequence #4 for registering opp_notifier,

In contrast
this case can execute devfreq->profile->exit() to free resource.
But, After executed devfreq->profile->exit(),
should not execute 'err_devfreq' statement to free resource.
In case, will operate twice of resource.

If my explanation is wrong, please reply your comment.


OK, it will work indeed, however the code is barely readable with this.

For consistency (and readability), resources acquired in platform driver's .probe() should be freed in .remove() and error path of .probe() should not rely on external code to do the clean-up.

So, as I proposed in my previous reply:


I believe the correct thing to do would be to remove the .exit() callback from exynos4_devfreq_profile struct and handle all the clean-up here in error path.


Best regards,
Tomasz
