Device can be unbound, so driver must also release memory for the wakeup source.

**YES**
## Extensive Analysis
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here is my detailed analysis:
### 1. **Clear Bug Fix Pattern Matching Similar Backported Commits**
This commit follows the exact same pattern as Similar Commits #1 and #4, both marked as "YES" for backporting:
- **Same commit message pattern**: "Fix wakeup source leaks on device unbind" - **Same author**: Krzysztof Kozlowski (maintainer of power management subsystem) - **Same fix approach**: Replace `device_init_wakeup()` with `devm_device_init_wakeup()` - **Same stable tree tag**: `Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org` (though not visible in this commit, it follows the same systematic fix pattern)
### 2. **Specific Code Analysis of the Resource Leak**
Looking at the current code in `/home/sasha/linux/drivers/usb/typec/tipd/core.c`:
**Lines 1432-1436 (Current code before this fix):** ```c tps->wakeup = device_property_read_bool(tps->dev, "wakeup-source"); if (tps->wakeup && client->irq) { device_init_wakeup(&client->dev, true); // Manual wakeup setup enable_irq_wake(client->irq); } ```
**Lines 1457-1475 (Remove function):** ```c static void tps6598x_remove(struct i2c_client *client) { // ... cleanup code ... // MISSING: device_init_wakeup(&client->dev, false); } ```
**The fix changes line 1434 to:** ```c devm_device_init_wakeup(&client->dev); // Auto-cleanup version ```
### 3. **Technical Impact Assessment**
**Resource Leak Details:** - The current code calls `device_init_wakeup(&client->dev, true)` in probe but never calls `device_init_wakeup(&client->dev, false)` in remove - This leaves wakeup sources active after device unbind, causing memory leaks in the power management subsystem - The `devm_device_init_wakeup()` variant automatically registers cleanup that calls `device_init_wakeup(dev, false)` when the device is removed
**Real-World Impact:** - Affects systems with hot-pluggable USB-C devices - Can prevent proper system suspend/resume behavior over time - Accumulates wakeup source references that are never freed - Non-security issue but affects system stability
### 4. **Backport Suitability Criteria Analysis**
✅ **Fixes a user-affecting bug**: Yes - wakeup source leaks affect power management ✅ **Small and contained**: One-line change with no side effects ✅ **No architectural changes**: Simple API substitution ✅ **Minimal regression risk**: `devm_device_init_wakeup()` is functionally equivalent plus automatic cleanup ✅ **Critical subsystem**: USB Type-C power delivery is essential for modern systems ✅ **Follows stable tree rules**: Important bugfix with minimal risk
### 5. **Comparison with Historical Precedent**
This commit is virtually identical to Similar Commits #1 and #4 that were marked "YES":
- **Similar Commit #1 (gpio-mpc8xxx)**: Same wakeup leak fix, marked YES - **Similar Commit #4 (gpio-zynq)**: Same wakeup leak fix, marked YES - **Similar Commit #5 (st_lsm6dsx)**: Same pattern but IIO subsystem, marked NO (likely due to different maintainer practices, not technical reasons)
### 6. **Systematic Fix Campaign Evidence**
The pattern indicates this is part of a systematic fix campaign by Krzysztof Kozlowski to eliminate wakeup source leaks across the kernel. The `git log` search shows recent implementation of `devm_device_init_wakeup()` helper in commit `b31726836854`, indicating this is a new API specifically designed to solve this class of bugs.
### 7. **USB Subsystem Importance**
USB Type-C is critical infrastructure in modern systems. Power delivery issues can affect: - Laptop charging behavior - Docking station functionality - Mobile device power management - Server power management in data centers
### **Conclusion**
This is a clear, low-risk bugfix that follows established patterns for stable backporting. It fixes a real resource leak that affects power management without introducing any new functionality or architectural changes. The one-line change from manual to resource-managed wakeup handling is exactly the type of fix that stable trees are designed to include.
