Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in
wcd934x_codec_parse_data()

wcd934x_codec_parse_data() contains a device reference count leak in of_slim_get_device() where device_find_child() increases the reference count of the device but this reference is not properly decreased in the success path. Add put_device() in wcd934x_codec_parse_data() and add devm_add_action_or_reset() in the probe function, which ensures that the reference count of the device is correctly managed.

Memory leak in regmap_init_slimbus() as the allocated regmap is not released when the device is removed. Using devm_regmap_init_slimbus() instead of regmap_init_slimbus() to ensure automatic regmap cleanup on device removal.

Calling path: of_slim_get_device() -> of_find_slim_device() -> device_find_child(). As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE:
you will need to drop the reference with put_device() after use.'.

PATCH 1/2 ASoC: codecs: wcd934x: Simplify with dev_err_probe

From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit fa92f4294283cc7d1f29151420be9e9336182518 ]

Replace dev_err() in probe() path with dev_err_probe() to:
1. Make code a bit simpler and easier to read,
2. Do not print messages on deferred probe.
