Summary

In the Linux kernel, a missing release of reserved memory was found in ASoC mediatek mt8183 during cleanup. The probe can assign reserved memory with of_reserved_mem_device_init(), but the assignment is never released on driver removal or later probe failures. The fix registers a devm cleanup action so the reserved memory assignment is released consistently, matching newer Mediatek AFE drivers.

Risk Assessment

Unreleased reserved memory can lead to memory exhaustion, especially with repeated driver load/unbind cycles.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that registers a devm cleanup action for reserved memory.
