[PATCH] media: davinci: vpif: Fix memory leak in probe error path
Posted by Dmitry Nikiforov 10 months ago
If an error occurs during the initialization of `pdev_display`,
the allocated platform device `pdev_capture` is not released properly,
leading to a memory leak.

Fix this by adding `platform_device_del(pdev_capture)` in the error path.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Good catch, but you should fix up the error path above this one
(kzalloc) as part of this patch as well.
