I realized that the cases I mentioned are not explained clearly. Therefore, I
will mention the cases again, along with the section of code they correspond to,
in order to make it clear.

Case-1: am65_cpsw_init_cpts() returns 0 since CONFIG_TI_K3_AM65_CPTS is not
enabled. This corresponds to the following section within am65_cpsw_init_cpts():

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TI_K3_AM65_CPTS))
	return 0;

In this case, common->cpts remains NULL, but it is not a problem even if the
am65_cpsw_nuss_probe() fails later, since the am65_cpts_release() function is
NOP. Thus, this case is not an issue.

Case-2: am65_cpsw_init_cpts() returns -ENOENT since the cpts node is not present
in the device tree. This corresponds to the following section within
am65_cpsw_init_cpts():

node = of_get_child_by_name(dev->of_node, "cpts");
if (!node) {
	dev_err(dev, "%s cpts not found\n", __func__);
	return -ENOENT;
}

In this case as well, common->cpts remains NULL, but it is not a problem because
the probe fails and the execution jumps to "err_of_clear", which doesn't invoke
am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup(). Therefore, common->cpts being NULL is not a problem.

Case-3 and Case-4 are described later in this mail.

Yes Roger, thank you for pointing it out. When I wrote "cpts is disabled", I had
meant that the following section is executed within the am65_cpsw_init_cpts()
function:

Case-3:

cpts = am65_cpts_create(dev, reg_base, node);
if (IS_ERR(cpts)) {
	int ret = PTR_ERR(cpts);

	of_node_put(node);
	if (ret == -EOPNOTSUPP) {
		dev_info(dev, "cpts disabled\n");
		return 0;
	}

......
}

Leon,

In the above code, when the section corresponding to:
dev_info(dev, "cpts disabled\n");

is executed, CONFIG_TI_K3_AM65_CPTS is enabled. Therefore, the
am65_cpts_release() is not NOP. If the probe fails after the call to
am65_cpsw_init_cpts(), then the am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() function will be called
in the cleanup path of probe, which needs to check for common->cpts not being
NULL. This is because common->cpts is NULL after returning 0 from the
am65_cpsw_init_cpts() function at the
dev_info(dev, "cpts disabled\n");

section. Thus, I believe that in this case, am65_cpts_release() shouldn't be
invoked from the am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() function, since it would have already
been invoked from am65_cpts_create()'s cleanup path. This can be ensured by
checking whether common->cpts is NULL or not, before invoking
am65_cpts_release() within am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup().

Case-4: The call to am65_cpts_create() within the am65_cpsw_init_cpts() function
fails with an error. This corresponds to the following section within
am65_cpsw_init_cpts():

cpts = am65_cpts_create(dev, reg_base, node);
if (IS_ERR(cpts)) {
......
	dev_err(dev, "cpts create err %d\n", ret);
	return ret;
}
	

Roger,

If the call to am65_cpts_create() fails with an error other than -EOPNOTSUPP,
which corresponds to Case-4, the call to am65_cpts_release() would have been
invoked within the am65_cpts_create()'s cleanup path itself if necessary. Also,
when the error is not -EOPNOTSUPP, the am65_cpsw_init_cpts() function returns an
error, due to which the execution jumps to "err_of_clear" in
am65_cpsw_nuss_probe(). Therefore, am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() is not invoked in
this case, due to which common->cpts being NULL is not a problem.


Roger, Leon, please review my comments and let me know. I think that Case-3
demands checking whether common->cpts is NULL or not, within the
am65_cpsw_cpts_cleanup() function.

Regards,
Siddharth.
