Call devm_free_irq() if we have to revert to polling in order not to

My initial plan was actually to do something similar, but if the probe code
is actually ever fixed to work as intended again then this will lead to a
double free as then the IRQ-test path of tpm_tis_send() will have called
disable_interrupts() which already calls devm_free_irq().

You could check for chip->irq != 0 here to avoid that.

Erm in case you haven't figured it out yet this should be priv->irq != 0, sorry.

Yup.


But it all is rather messy, which is why I went with the "#if 0" approach
in my patch.

I think it is right way to fix it. It is a bug independent of the issue
we are experiencing.

However, what you are suggesting should be done in addition. Do you have
a patch in place or do you want me to refine mine?

I do not have a patch ready for this, if you can refine yours that would
be great.

Thanks! Just wanted to confirm.

And thank you for working on a (temporary?) fix for this.

As far as I see it, it is orthogonal fix that needs to be backported
to stable kernels. This bug predates the issue we're seeing now.

Hey, I came to other thoughts on "how". Would probably make sense
to always call disable_interrupts() aka no sense to add two separate
code paths. What do you think?

Sounds good, I guess it would be best to combine that with a:

if (priv->irq == 0)
return;

At the top of disable_interrupts() and then unconditionally
call disable_interrupts() where your v1 of this patch
calls devm_free_irq(). That would be a reasonable clean
solution I think.

Hans
