From 5e49200593f331cd0629b5376fab9192f698e8ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 17:23:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/mediatek: Fix probe memory leak
The Mediatek DRM driver allocates private data for components without a platform driver but as the lifetime is tied to each component device, the memory is never freed.
Tie the allocation lifetime to the DRM platform device so that the memory is released on probe failure (e.g. probe deferral) and when the driver is unbound.
