Hi Greg, commit 666224b43b4b ("spi: bcm2835: Release the DMA channel if probe fails after dma_init") was not marked for stable but really should have been. Here's a backport for 4.19: -- >8 -- From: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@xxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 15:55:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] spi: bcm2835: Release the DMA channel if probe fails after dma_init [ Upstream commit 666224b43b4bd4612ce3b758c038f9bc5c5e3fcb ] The DMA channel was not released if either devm_request_irq() or devm_spi_register_controller() failed.
