Linux kernel source tree
90d50b8d85
It's been reported that DSI host driver's detach can be called without the attach ever happening: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230412073954.20601-1-tony@atomide.com/ After reading the code, I think this is what happens: We have a DSI host defined in the device tree and a DSI peripheral under that host (i.e. an i2c device using the DSI as data bus doesn't exhibit this behavior). The host driver calls mipi_dsi_host_register(), which causes (via a few functions) mipi_dsi_device_add() to be called for the DSI peripheral. So now we have a DSI device under the host, but attach hasn't been called. Normally the probing of the devices continues, and eventually the DSI peripheral's driver will call mipi_dsi_attach(), attaching the peripheral. However, if the host driver's probe encounters an error after calling mipi_dsi_host_register(), and before the peripheral has called mipi_dsi_attach(), the host driver will do cleanups and return an error from its probe function. The cleanups include calling mipi_dsi_host_unregister(). mipi_dsi_host_unregister() will call two functions for all its DSI peripheral devices: mipi_dsi_detach() and mipi_dsi_device_unregister(). The latter makes sense, as the device exists, but the former may be wrong as attach has not necessarily been done. To fix this, track the attached state of the peripheral, and only detach from mipi_dsi_host_unregister() if the peripheral was attached. Note that I have only tested this with a board with an i2c DSI peripheral, not with a "pure" DSI peripheral. However, slightly related, the unregister machinery still seems broken. E.g. if the DSI host driver is unbound, it'll detach and unregister the DSI peripherals. After that, when the DSI peripheral driver unbound it'll call detach either directly or using the devm variant, leading to a crash. And probably the driver will crash if it happens, for some reason, to try to send a message via the DSI bus. But that's another topic. Tested-by: H.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
