Subject: [PATCH net] net: mctp: usb: properly drop the usb interface on probe error
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:33:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026022319-turbofan-darkened-206d@gregkh> (raw)
When an error happens in mctp_usb_probe() the reference count on the usb
interface structure needs to be properly dropped as it was incremented
earlier in the function.
