There is a chance to meet runtime issues during configuration of CAMSS power domains, because on the error path dev_pm_domain_detach() is unexpectedly called with NULL or error pointer. One of the simplest ways to reproduce the problem is to probe CAMSS driver before registration of CAMSS power domains, for instance if a platform CAMCC driver is simply not built.

I tested this fix in both cases of set and unset "power-domain-names" property in camss device tree node, and I didn't find any negative side effects of the fix. drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.c | 19 ++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.c b/drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.c index 51b1d3550421..aa894be1461d 100644 --- a/drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.c +++ b/drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.c @@ -2130,10 +2130,8 @@ static int camss_configure_pd(struct camss *camss) if (camss->res->pd_name) { camss->genpd = dev_pm_domain_attach_by_name(camss->dev, camss->res->pd_name); - if (IS_ERR(camss->genpd)) { - ret = PTR_ERR(camss->genpd); - goto fail_pm; - } + if (IS_ERR(camss->genpd)) + return PTR_ERR(camss->genpd); } if (!camss->genpd) { @@ -2143,14 +2141,13 @@ static int camss_configure_pd(struct camss *camss) */ camss->genpd = dev_pm_domain_attach_by_id(camss->dev, camss->genpd_num - 1); + if (IS_ERR(camss->genpd)) + return PTR_ERR(camss->genpd); } - if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(camss->genpd)) { - if (!camss->genpd) - ret = -ENODEV; - else - ret = PTR_ERR(camss->genpd); - goto fail_pm; - } + + if (!camss->genpd) + return -ENODEV; + camss->genpd_link = device_link_add(camss->dev, camss->genpd, DL_FLAG_STATELESS | DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME | DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE); -- 2.45.2
