From 59ca3a2f20f37fd45e4ccf266ae2df9379c7af91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 06:36:09 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] usb: bootm: Drop old USB-device-removal code USB is stopped using driver model now, in dm_remove_devices_flags() in announce_and_cleanup() at the top of this file. The usb_stop() call actually unbinds devices. When a USB device is unbound, it causes any bootflows attached to it to be removed, via a call to bootdev_clear_bootflows() from bootdev_pre_unbind(). This obviously makes it impossible to boot the bootflow. However, when booting a bootflow that relies on USB, usb_stop() is called, which unbinds the device. At that point any information attached to the bootflow is dropped. This is quite risky since the contents of freed memory are not guaranteed to remain unchanged. Depending on what other options are done before boot, a hard-to-find bug may crop up. Drop the call to this old function. Leave the netconsole call there, since this needs conversion to driver model.
