cover ARM: imx: bug fix and convertion to platform_device_register_full()

This small series fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference bug and also converts the imx camera allocation and initialization functions to use platform_device_register_full().

The change the first patch makes is removed by the second patch, so the purpose of the first one is purely for easy backporting and git history.

PATCH v4 1/2 ARM: imx: fix error handling in ipu device registration

If we fail to allocate struct platform_device pdev we dereference it after the goto label err.

This bug was found using coccinelle.

---
v4: Simplified version that just fixes the bug.
Also updated the changelog.
v3: Made subject line more specific.
v2: Changed to return -ENOMEM instead of ret where possible and
updated the subject line.

Shawn, is it already to late for 3.15?

Thanks

PATCH 2/2 ARM: imx: convert camera init to use platform_device_register_full()

In reply to Emil Goode

This converts the imx camera allocation and initialization functions to use platform_device_register_full() thus simplifying the code.

Only build tested, unfortunately I currently don't have the hardware.

IMHO you should better rename the function because now it doesn't only allocate the device, but also registers it.

Also I doubt that it's OK to call dma_declare_coherent_memory after the device is added. In this case maybe extend platform_device_register_full? And also add a warning to dma_declare_coherent_memory if it is called for an already added device? (Added a few people to Cc: that might be able to comment this. I don't even know if there is a reliable way to check if a device is already added.)

Best regards

Yes I also had doubts about that. However, apart from this patch there are three other places in arch/arm/mach-imx/ where dma_declare_coherent_memory() is called after calling platform_device_register_full().

Perhaps this is enough reason to extend platform_device_register_full().

It would be great to get some more feedback on this and also if there is a reliable way to check if a device is already added.

According to the documentation dma_declare_coherent_memory() is only used in unlikely corner cases, so I concluded that it is probably better not to include it in platform_device_register_full().
