mtd: rawnand: fix GPIO descriptor leak in rawnand_dt_parse_gpio_cs()
This commit releases previously acquired GPIO descriptors with gpiod_put()
if gpiod_get_index_optional() fails during the loop in
rawnand_dt_parse_gpio_cs().

[Severity: Medium]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but can its caller leak the
same nfc->cs_array GPIO descriptors [1] when probe fails after
rawnand_dt_parse_gpio_cs() succeeds?
Because rawnand_dt_parse_gpio_cs() uses unmanaged gpiod_get_index_optional(),
those descriptors are only released in anfc_remove():
drivers/mtd/nand/raw/arasan-nand-controller.c:anfc_parse_cs() {
ret = rawnand_dt_parse_gpio_cs(nfc->dev, &nfc->cs_array, &nfc->ncs);
if (ret)
return ret;
...
if (nfc->cs_array) {
if (nfc->ncs > 2 && !nfc->cs_array[0] && !nfc->cs_array[1]) {
dev_err(nfc->dev,
"Assign a single native CS when using GPIOs\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
}
If the native chip-select check in anfc_parse_cs() or a subsequent call to
anfc_chips_init() in anfc_probe() fails, the GPIO lines remain requested and
cause later probe attempts to fail with -EBUSY. Switching to
devm_gpiod_get_index_optional() (and dropping the manual gpiod_put() loop in
anfc_remove()) would avoid leaking descriptors in both places.
