[PATCH] driver core: auxiliary bus: Fix memory leak when driver_register() fail

From: Peter Ujfalusi
Date: Tue Jul 13 2021 - 05:34:53 EST


If driver_register() returns with error we need to free the memory
allocated for auxdrv->driver.name before returning from
__auxiliary_driver_register()

Fixes: 7de3697e9cbd4 ("Add auxiliary bus support")
