Frequently Asked Questions
1
Under what conditions can the device leak occur?
The leak occurs only after ACP child devices have been successfully registered through mfd_add_devices(). A subsequent failure while attaching a child to the ACP power domain, an ACP reset timeout, or a clock-enable timeout can leave those registered child platform devices unreleased.
2
Is a failure from mfd_add_devices() itself affected?
No. The existing cleanup path remains in place for mfd_add_devices() failures because the MFD core already rolls back partially registered child devices in that case.
3
What is the impact of the corrected failure handling?
On failures after child-device registration, the corrected path removes children from the ACP power domain and unregisters the MFD devices. This prevents registered ACP child platform devices from being left behind after initialization fails.
