Instantiating the rmi4 I2C transport driver without interrupts assigned

caused the driver to fail to load, but it does not clean up its

time, for example when rebooting the system.

Sorry for that.

Applied, thank you.

I take it back. rmi_i2c_init_irq() uses devm* so this whole thing mixes
up devm* and manual unregistering and unwind order is completely
broken.

Oops ...

1. Why do we register interrupt from transport drivers and not make it
part of rmi_register_transport_device()?

Not all RMI devices will have access to interrupts (ie HID and SMBus).
The same goes for regulators. Here is a reference to a previous
discussion regarding both:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/9/1055


rmi_register_transport_device() doesn't take dev as parameter.

2. If we need to use some non-devm-ised resources we should use
devm_add_action[_or_reset] to work these operations into devm stream.


Since the regulator functions have their own devm_ versions I would
suggest switching to those functions to avoid dealing with
unregistering.

Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see a devm_regulator_bulk_enable().
devm_regulator_bulk_get() is already used.

Guenter

Registering and unregistering the transport device is a bit more
complicated since these functions add and put the rmi_dev device. But,
it sounds like we can handle the unregister using
devm_add_action_or_reset().
