[PATCH 0/5] USB: fix device leaks at unbind

[Johan Hovold]

This series fixes a number of device leaks after failure to drop the
reference taken by of_find_device_by_node().

Included is also a related clean up of the omap driver.

Note that these have only been compile tested.

[PATCH 1/5] usb: dwc3: imx8mp: fix device leak at unbind

[Johan Hovold]

Make sure to drop the reference to the dwc3 device taken by
of_find_device_by_node() on probe errors and on driver unbind.

[PATCH 5/5] usb: musb: omap2430: clean up probe error handling

[Johan Hovold]

Using numbered error labels is discouraged (e.g. as it requires
renumbering them when adding a new intermediate error path).

Rename the error labels after what they do.

While at it, drop the redundant platform allocation failure dev_err()
as the error would already have been logged by the allocator.
