[PATCH] crypto: safexcel - Fix potential memory leak in safexcel_pci_probe()
Posted by Abdun Nihaal 1 month ago
The memory allocated for priv in safexcel_pci_probe() is not freed in the
error paths, as well as in the PCI remove function. Fix this by using
device managed allocation.

Fixes: 625f269a5a7a ("crypto: inside-secure - add support for PCI based FPGA development board")

Compile tested only. Issue found using static analysis.
