From 9354c224c9b4f55847a0de3e968cba2ebf15af3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Rokosov DDRokosov@sberdevices.ru Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 18:14:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] iio:accel:mxc4005: rearrange iio trigger get and register
IIO trigger interface function iio_trigger_get() should be called after iio_trigger_register() (or its devm analogue) strictly, because of iio_trigger_get() acquires module refcnt based on the trigger->owner pointer, which is initialized inside iio_trigger_register() to THIS_MODULE. If this call order is wrong, the next iio_trigger_put() (from sysfs callback or "delete module" path) will dereference "default" module refcnt, which is incorrect behaviour.
