[PATCH 0/9] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix SCMI core cleanup paths

[Sudeep Holla]

This series fixes a set of SCMI core and mailbox transport lifetime issues
found around device creation, channel setup failure and teardown paths.
They were mostly found by Sashiko[1] when reviewing some other series.
Posting these separately as the issues or the fixes are not related to [2]

Here is the attempt to fix them, some of them can be dropped if it is too
theoretical. I have addressed all the issues that made sense to me at the
time of reading the report.

The fixes tighten ownership of OF node references, make transport devices
reachable by explicit teardown without exposing them to normal SCMI driver
binding, and ensure partially initialized channels are unwound consistently on
probe/setup failures. The series also fixes races around requested-device
notifier teardown and RCU-protected protocol lookups.

The mailbox transport fixes are split by the feature that introduced the
leaking channel: one for unidirectional mailbox channels and one for P2A
completion channels.

Summary:

- Fix OF node reference ownership for generated SCMI devices.
- Allow explicit teardown lookup of internal transport devices.
- Clean up TX/RX channels when SCMI channel setup fails midway.
- Fix SCMI device lifetime handling around child lookup and bus ID reuse.
- Free transport resources when IDR insertion fails after channel setup.
- Unregister requested-device notifier before active protocol IDR teardown.
- Unwind mailbox channels on TX receiver and P2A receiver setup failures.
- Protect requested-device protocol lookup with RCU.
