This driver can use an interrupt or polling in order get the charger's status. When using polling, a delayed work is used. However, the remove() function unconditionally call cancel_delayed_work_sync(), even if the delayed work is not used and is not initialized. In order to fix it, use devm_delayed_work_autocancel() and remove the now useless remove() function. Fixes: feb583e37f8a ("power: supply: add sbs-charger driver") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- 2 more comments: - i2c_set_clientdata() looks now useless and could be removed as well. I've left it because removing such assigned already played me some unexpected trick. - Should this be backported, devm_delayed_work_autocancel() is not really old and may not be available in older kernel. In this case a "if (!client->irq)" in the remove function would also fix the issue --- drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c | 18 +++++++----------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c b/drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c index 6fa65d118ec1..b08f7d0c4181 100644 --- a/drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c +++ b/drivers/power/supply/sbs-charger.c @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ #include <linux/interrupt.h> #include <linux/regmap.h> #include <linux/bitops.h> +#include <linux/devm-helpers.h> #define SBS_CHARGER_REG_SPEC_INFO 0x11 #define SBS_CHARGER_REG_STATUS 0x13 @@ -209,7 +210,12 @@ static int sbs_probe(struct i2c_client *client, if (ret) return dev_err_probe(&client->dev, ret, "Failed to request irq\n"); } else { - INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&chip->work, sbs_delayed_work); + ret = devm_delayed_work_autocancel(&client->dev, &chip->work, + sbs_delayed_work); + if (ret) + return dev_err_probe(&client->dev, ret, + "Failed to init work for polling\n"); + schedule_delayed_work(&chip->work, msecs_to_jiffies(SBS_CHARGER_POLL_TIME)); } @@ -220,15 +226,6 @@ static int sbs_probe(struct i2c_client *client, return 0; } -static int sbs_remove(struct i2c_client *client) -{ - struct sbs_info *chip = i2c_get_clientdata(client); - - cancel_delayed_work_sync(&chip->work); - - return 0; -} - #ifdef CONFIG_OF static const struct of_device_id sbs_dt_ids[] = { { .compatible = "sbs,sbs-charger" }, @@ -245,7 +242,6 @@ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, sbs_id); static struct i2c_driver sbs_driver = { .probe = sbs_probe, - .remove = sbs_remove, .id_table = sbs_id, .driver = { .name = "sbs-charger", -- 2.32.0
