[PATCH 6/8] firmware: arm_ffa: Unregister v1.0 bus notifier on teardown

Thu Apr 23 10:22:56 PDT 2026


For FF-A v1.0 the driver registers a bus notifier to backfill UUID
matching, but the notifier was never unregistered on cleanup paths.
Track the registration state and unregister it during teardown and early
partition-setup failure.

Fixes: 9dd15934f60d ("firmware: arm_ffa: Move the FF-A v1.0 NULL UUID workaround to bus notifier")
