[PATCH] staging: media: atomisp: Fix premature setting of HMM_BO_DEVICE_INITED flag

From: Abdelrahman Fekry
Date: Sat Jun 28 2025 - 01:26:41 EST


The HMM_BO_DEVICE_INITED flag was being set in hmm_bo_device_init()
before key initialization steps like kmem_cache_create(),
kmem_cache_alloc(), and __bo_init().

This means that if any of these steps fail, the flag remains set,
misleading other parts of the driver (e.g. hmm_bo_alloc())
into thinking the device is initialized. This could lead
to undefined behavior or invalid memory use.

Additionally, since __bo_init() is called from inside
hmm_bo_device_init() after the flag was already set, its internal
check for HMM_BO_DEVICE_INITED is redundant.

- Move the flag assignment to the end after all allocations succeed.
- Remove redundant check of the flag inside __bo_init()
