rtc: ab-b5ze-s3: fix possible race conditions
The IRQ is requested before the struct rtc is allocated and registered, but this struct is used in the IRQ handler. This may lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Also, the probe function is not allowed to fail after the RTC is registered because the following may happen: CPU0: CPU1: sys_load_module() do_init_module() do_one_initcall() cmos_do_probe() rtc_device_register() __register_chrdev() cdev->owner = struct module* open("/dev/rtc0") rtc_device_unregister() module_put() free_module() module_free(mod->module_core) /* struct module *module is now freed */ chrdev_open() spin_lock(cdev_lock) cdev_get() try_module_get() module_is_live() /* dereferences already freed struct module* */ Switch to devm_rtc_allocate_device/rtc_register_device to allocate the rtc before requesting the IRQ and register the RTC as late as possible.
