of_platform_depopulate can lead to a kernel error when calling
release_resource()
of_platform_depopulate()
of_platform_device_destroy()
platform_device_unregister(platform_device *pdev)
platform_device_del(platform_device *pdev)
for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++)
release_resource()
The reason is that it is trying to release a resource that was not allocated
via insert_resource
of_platform_populate()
...
of_device_alloc()
pdev = platform_device_alloc()
# set pdev->resource, similar to platform_device_add_resources()
of_device_add(platform_device *pdev)
# similar to platform_device_add(), but note there's no
# insert_resource() in this path
device_add(&pdev->dev)
This set of patches modifies release_resource to check for
resource->parent==NULL and throw a warning if there is an error.
base/platform has been fixed for an hypothetical condition where parent is
set but the platform is neither MEM or IO.
Then platform_device_alloc has been modified so it supports of and amba
devices.
Finally of_device_add has been modified to use platform_device_add().

Ricardo Ribalda Delgado (4):
kernel/resource: Invalid memory access in __release_resource
base/platform: Only insert MEM and IO resources
base/platform: Continue on insert_resource() error
of/platform: Use platform_device interface
