Agree.

Wasn't there a patch for those too? I lost track...
I don't know, I just checked the latest Linus tree.
And, looking at the HD-audio code, I still wonder how NULL dev->driver can reach there. Is there any PCI device that is added to component without binding to a driver? We have dev_is_pci() check at the beginning, so non-PCI devices should bail out there...
Further reading on, I'm really confused. How data=NULL can be passed to this function? The data argument is the value passed from the component_match_add_typed() call in HD-audio driver, hence it must be always the snd_hdac_bus object.
And, I guess the i915 string check can be omitted completely, at least, for HD-audio driver. It already have a check of the parent of the device and that should be enough.
That said, something like below (supposing data NULL check being superfluous), instead.

If I recall this bug correctly, it's not the usb port perse that is falling through this !dev_is_pci(dev) check, it's actually the usb4-port in a new proposed patch by Heikki and Mika to extend the usb type-c component to encompass the usb4 specific pieces too. Is it possible usb4 ports are considered pci devices, and that's how we got into this situation?
Also, a little more background information: This crash happens because in our kernel configs, we config'd the usb4 driver as =y (built in) instead of =m module, which meant that the usb4 port's driver was adding a component likely much earlier than hdac_i915.
So is this actually triggering on 5.17 right now? Or is it due to some other not-applied changes you are testing at the moment?
confused,

Hi Greg,
I believe it is not causing an issue in 5.17 at the moment. It is triggered when we try to apply new changes and test it locally. (registering a component for usb4_port)
Thanks, Won
