mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.10-rc6 commit adec57ff8e66aee632f3dd1f93787c13d112b7a1 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IAGEP4 CVE: CVE-2024-42090

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...

---------------------------

In create_pinctrl(), pinctrl_maps_mutex is acquired before calling add_setting(). If add_setting() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, create_pinctrl() calls pinctrl_free(). However, pinctrl_free() attempts to acquire pinctrl_maps_mutex, which is already held by create_pinctrl(), leading to a potential deadlock.

This patch resolves the issue by releasing pinctrl_maps_mutex before calling pinctrl_free(), preventing the deadlock.

This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.
