Hello Sebastian, I just did one more testing. In case of iio/adc/exynos_adc.c there is a bug in the remove path. If I fix the bug in the driver, with below patch --- a/drivers/iio/adc/exynos_adc.c +++ b/drivers/iio/adc/exynos_adc.c @@ -375,14 +375,14 @@ static int exynos_adc_remove(struct platform_device *pdev) struct iio_dev *indio_dev = platform_get_drvdata(pdev); struct exynos_adc *info = iio_priv(indio_dev); - device_for_each_child(&pdev->dev, NULL, - exynos_adc_remove_devices); regulator_disable(info->vdd); clk_disable_unprepare(info->clk); writel(0, info->enable_reg); iio_device_unregister(indio_dev); free_irq(info->irq, info); iio_device_free(indio_dev); + device_for_each_child(&pdev->dev, NULL, + exynos_adc_remove_devices); Even without your fix, I could configure it as a module and the rmmod, insmod are working fine. (no crash) Regards, Naveen ------- Original Message ------- Sender : Sebastian Andrzej Siewior<bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date : Jul 19, 2013 23:44 (GMT+05:30) Title : [PATCH] of: provide of_platform_unpopulate() So I called of_platform_populate() on a device to get each child device probed and on rmmod and I need to reverse its doing. After a quick grep I did what others did as well and rmmod ended in: | Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018 | PC is at release_resource+0x18/0x80 | Process rmmod (pid: 2005, stack limit = 0xedc30238) | [<c003add0>] (release_resource+0x18/0x80) from [<c0300e08>] (platform_device_del+0x78/0xac) | [<c0300e08>] (platform_device_del+0x78/0xac) from [<c0301358>] (platform_device_unregister+0xc/0x18) The problem is that platform_device_del() "releases" each ressource in its tree. This does not work on platform_devices created by OF becuase they were never added via insert_resource(). As a consequence old->parent in __release_resource() is NULL and we explode while accessing ->child. So I either I do something completly wrong _or_ nobody here tested the rmmod path of their driver. This patch provides a common function to unregister / remove devices which added to the system via of_platform_populate(). While this works now on my test case I have not tested any of the driver I modify here so feedback is greatly appreciated.
