Thanks, Sasha ------------------ original commit in Linus's tree ------------------ >From 52f527d0916bcdd7621a0c9e7e599b133294d495 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haoxiang Li <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 18:20:54 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] bus: fsl-mc: fix an error handling in fsl_mc_device_add() In fsl_mc_device_add(), device_initialize() is called first. put_device() should be called to drop the reference if error occurs. And other resources would be released via put_device -> fsl_mc_device_release. So remove redundant kfree() in error handling path.
