[PATCH v10 09/11] misc: qcom-coincell: Migrate to devm_spmi_subdevice_alloc_and_add()

[sashiko-bot at kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Leaked device reference count for the parent SPMI device acquired via spmi_find_device_by_of_node().
- [Low] Returning a pointer (`ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)`) from a function with an `int` return type.

misc: qcom-coincell: Migrate to devm_spmi_subdevice_alloc_and_add()

This commit migrates the coincell charger driver to use the new
devm_spmi_subdevice_alloc_and_add() API. It registers a new SPMI
sub-device and initializes its own regmap.

[Severity: Low]
The qcom_coincell_probe() function returns an int, but ERR_PTR(-ENODEV)
constructs a pointer. Will this cause a compiler error for implicit
pointer-to-integer conversion?

[Severity: Medium]
The spmi_find_device_by_of_node() function acquires a reference to the parent
SPMI device. Since devm_spmi_subdevice_alloc_and_add() does not consume this
reference, does this code leak the device reference by never calling
put_device() to release it?

These same return type mismatches and reference leaks also appear to be
present in the probe functions for qcom-spmi-sdam.c, qcom-pon.c, and
phy-qcom-eusb2-repeater.c introduced by this patchset.
