--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v2 1/4] thermal/drivers/loongson2: Correct thermal sensor registration loop ---
commit 381cd9ed04934716b53c8748d5c522210d6b54ff
Author: Binbin Zhou <[email protected]>

thermal/drivers/loongson2: Correct thermal sensor registration loop

The registration loop in loongson2_thermal_probe() incorrectly uses
dev_err_probe() when the sensor is not present (-ENODEV). Fix this by
correctly handling -ENODEV and only returning on other errors.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does device_get_match_data() return NULL
when binding the driver via sysfs to a platform device that lacks OF match
data?

In loongson2_thermal_probe(), data->chip_data is assigned from
device_get_match_data(dev) and then immediately dereferenced:

    data->chip_data = device_get_match_data(dev);
    ...
    if (data->chip_data->flags & LS2K2000_THSENS_OUT_FLAG) {

Could this cause a NULL pointer dereference crash if bound by name via sysfs?

[Severity: Medium]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this code properly save the
discovered sensor index?

If the device tree specifies a non-zero sensor index, the actual sensor
index is discovered here but then discarded instead of being saved to
the instance data.

Later in loongson2_set_ctrl_regs(), the hardware register offset is
calculated using the hardcoded static match data rather than the index
actually discovered:

    int reg_off  = data->chip_data->thermal_sensor_sel * 2;

Could this cause the driver to report temperatures or configure thresholds
for the wrong hardware sensor (sensor 0) if the device tree specifies a
different index?

[Severity: Medium]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is there a missing teardown for the
hardware interrupt state?

The probe function relies solely on devres for cleanup, but it does not
register a devm action to revert the hardware interrupt state initialized
by the thermal core:

    loongson2_thermal_set(data, 0, 0, false);

If the driver is manually unbound via sysfs or the module is unloaded, could
this leave the device actively asserting its interrupt line?
