Subject: [RESEND PATCH] mtd: phram: fix a double free issue in error path
Date:   Wed, 18 Mar 2020 23:31:56 +0800
Message-Id: <20200318153156.25612-1-wenyang@linux.alibaba.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The variable 'name' is released multiple times in the error path,
which may cause double free issues.
This problem is avoided by adding a goto label to release the mem
uniformly. And this change also makes the code a bit more cleaner.

Fixes: 4f678a58d335 ("mtd: fix memory leaks in phram_setup")
