[PATCH] spmi: hisi-spmi-controller: fix potential memory leak in spmi_controller_probe()

From: Ma Ke
Date: Thu Sep 21 2023 - 22:52:55 EST


spmi_controller_alloc() allocates a memory space for ctrl. When some
errors occur, ctrl should be handled by spmi_controller_put() and set
spmi_controller->controller = NULL because spmi_controller->controller
has a dangling pointer to the freed memory. When the failure happens,
the function returns without calling spmi_controller_put() and setting
spmi_controller->controller = NULL, which will lead to a memory leak.

When the failure happens, we can fix it by calling spmi_controller_put()
and setting spmi_controller->controller = NULL in all of the places
where we call spmi_controller_put().
