[PATCH 1/2] can: m_can: m_can_plat_probe(): free can_net device in case probe fails

From: Xulin Sun
Date: Fri Feb 05 2021 - 02:28:24 EST


The can_net device is allocated through kvzalloc(), if the subsequent probe
cases fail to initialize, it should free the can_net device that has been
successfully allocated before.

To fix below memory leaks call trace:
