Subject: [PATCH] USB: ulpi: fix memory leak on registration failure
Date: Mon,  8 Jun 2026 16:58:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260608145803.69360-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

The allocated device name is never freed on early ULPI device
registration failures.

Fix this by initialising the device structure earlier and releasing the
initial reference whenever registration fails.

Fixes: 289fcff4bcdb ("usb: add bus type for USB ULPI")
