Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: phy_device: free the phy_device on the phy_device_create error path
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2024 17:01:54 +0100
Message-ID: <20240223160155.861528-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com>
Precedence: bulk

When error'ing out from phy_device_create(), the previously kzalloc'd "dev"
pointer gets overwritten with an error pointer, without freeing it
beforehand, thus leaking the allocated phy_device. Add the missing kfree
back.

Fixes: d02cbc461361 ("net: phy: fix memory leak in device-create error path")
