Component match callback functions need to check if expected data is passed to them. Without this check, it can cause a NULL pointer dereference when another driver registers a component before i915 drivers have their component master fully bind.

How can that happen in a real system? Or does this just happen for when you are doing development and testing?

A component is just a device that is declared to be a "component", and the code that declares it as component does not have to be the driver of that device. You simply can't assume that it's bind to a driver like this function does.
In our case the "components" are USB ports, so devices that are never bind to drivers.

I think the component framework is meant to be this loose confederation of devices, so going into component match, you don't know what the other device is yet.
The USB drivers and the i915 drivers 100% don't care about each other, but the framework doesn't know that yet until all the drivers try to match.
And why is a USB device being passed to something that it thinks is a PCI device? That too feels really wrong and ripe for problems.
The problematic device that's being passed through here is actually the usb4_port, not a usb device. My guess would be that's why it's getting past any checks for whether it's a PCI device.
The component framework currently being used by (hdac_i915, mei_hdcp, mei_pxp) to connect those three devices together, and completely separately, the component framework is being used by the typec connector class's port mapper.
These two clusters of devices are using the same component framework, but are not supposed to interact with each other. When we attempted to add the usb4_port and its retimer in order to link tbt/usb4 to the typec connector, we discovered this interaction because we happened to build the usb4_port built-in in our configs, so it does its component_add earlier.
I agree, by the way. This is all a bit ugly.
Thanks, Benson

a usb4 port should not be a pci device.
So fix up the checks, don't do a random "is this the driver name?" check, look for the real driver pointer or something like that that you KNOW is the correct match.

Something is wrong with the component code here if this is happening, as that's not a solid interface that can actually work at all.
Perhaps do not use this framework until it is fixed?
And again, is this something that you see today on an unmodified 5.17.1 release? If not, why all of the stable backport requests?
