commit 5216b43b65b5b9e8f76798ae9a011c6d5ce85515
Author: Mukesh Ojha <[email protected]>
net: ipa: migrate firmware loading to qcom_mdt_pas_load() and 
qcom_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset()

This commit replaces open-coded memory mapping and firmware loading
sequences with devm_qcom_pas_context_alloc() and qcom_mdt_pas_load().
It then uses qcom_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset() with the goal of
performing the shmbridge prepare step required before TrustZone
authentication.

[Severity: High]
Does allocating the context here leave the use_tzmem flag implicitly
initialized to false?

The commit message states the goal is to execute the shmbridge prepare
step. However, since devm_qcom_pas_context_alloc() allocates the context
using devm_kzalloc(), the ctx->use_tzmem boolean defaults to false.

When qcom_pas_prepare_and_auth_reset(ctx) is called later, the backend
evaluates this flag. If it is false, it falls back to the legacy
authentication path and completely bypasses the intended
qcom_tzmem_shm_bridge_create() logic.

Should ctx->use_tzmem be explicitly set to true after allocation?

[Severity: Medium]
Will returning from this path leak the DMA buffer containing the firmware
metadata?

When qcom_mdt_pas_load() is called, it triggers the allocation and mapping
of a DMA buffer for the metadata, storing its address in ctx->ptr. While
the context structure itself is devres-managed, the underlying PAS backend
requires callers to explicitly free the metadata buffer.

If the function returns without calling qcom_pas_metadata_release(ctx),
does this result in a permanent memory leak of the metadata buffer on
every probe attempt?
