Subject: [PATCH 1/2] spi: fix resource leaks on device setup failure
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 17:49:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410154907.129248-2-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410154907.129248-1-johan@kernel.org>
Make sure to call controller cleanup() if spi_setup() fails while
registering a device to avoid leaking any resources allocated by
setup().
Fixes: c7299fea6769 ("spi: Fix spi device unregister flow")
