Group index is incremented on every new group parsed. Since the field is part of struct imx_pinctrl_soc_info, which is typically a global variable passed by the individual pinctrl-imx.c based driver, it does not get cleared automatically when re-probing the driver. This lead imx_pinctrl_parse_functions passing a group pointer which is outside of the allocated group space on second probe and onwards. Typically this ended up in a NULL pointer dereference when accessing the name field like this: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ... PC is at strcmp+0x18/0x44 LR is at imx_dt_node_to_map+0xc4/0x290 Avoid this by setting group_index to 0 on probe. This has been observed when using DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
