> In mtk_ppe_init(), when accounting is enabled, the error paths for
> dmam_alloc_coherent(mib) and devm_kzalloc(acct) failures return NULL
> directly, bypassing the err_free_l2_flows label that destroys the
> rhashtable initialized earlier.
>
> While this leak only occurs during probe (not runtime) and the leaked
> memory is minimal (an empty rhash table), fixing it ensures proper
> error path cleanup consistency.
>
> Fix by changing the two return NULL statements to goto err_free_l2_flows.
