devm_request_irq() is a managed resource: the IRQ is not freed until devres_release_all() runs after the probe function returns. In the probe error path, free_netdev(mal->dummy_dev) and dcr_unmap() execute while the IRQ is still live. If the shared IRQ fires during cleanup, the handler accesses unmapped DCR registers (crash) or the already- freed dummy_dev (use-after-free). Switch to plain request_irq() with per-IRQ error labels that tear down only the IRQs that were successfully registered, and add the matching free_irq() calls in mal_remove().
