Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: fix memory leak in device-create error path
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 17:37:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200806153753.12247-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
A recent commit introduced a late error path in phy_device_create()
which fails to release the device name allocated by dev_set_name().
Fixes: 13d0ab6750b2 ("net: phy: check return code when requesting PHY driver module")
