The driver use the non-managed form of the register function in isl29028_remove(). To keep the release order as mirroring the ordering in probe, the driver should use non-managed form in probe, too. The following log reveals it: [ 32.374955] isl29028 0-0010: remove [ 32.376861] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000006: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [ 32.377676] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000030-0x0000000000000037] [ 32.379432] RIP: 0010:kernfs_find_and_get_ns+0x28/0xe0 [ 32.385461] Call Trace: [ 32.385807] sysfs_unmerge_group+0x59/0x110 [ 32.386110] dpm_sysfs_remove+0x58/0xc0 [ 32.386391] device_del+0x296/0xe50 [ 32.386959] cdev_device_del+0x1d/0xd0 [ 32.387231] devm_iio_device_unreg+0x27/0xb0 [ 32.387542] devres_release_group+0x319/0x3d0 [ 32.388162] i2c_device_remove+0x93/0x1f0 Fixes: 2db5054ac28d ("staging: iio: isl29028: add runtime power management support") Signed-off-by: Zheyu Ma <zheyuma97@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Use the non-managed form to register the device --- drivers/iio/light/isl29028.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/iio/light/isl29028.c b/drivers/iio/light/isl29028.c index 9de3262aa688..a62787f5d5e7 100644 --- a/drivers/iio/light/isl29028.c +++ b/drivers/iio/light/isl29028.c @@ -625,7 +625,7 @@ static int isl29028_probe(struct i2c_client *client, ISL29028_POWER_OFF_DELAY_MS); pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(&client->dev); - ret = devm_iio_device_register(indio_dev->dev.parent, indio_dev); + ret = iio_device_register(indio_dev); if (ret < 0) { dev_err(&client->dev, "%s(): iio registration failed with error %d\n", -- 2.25.1
