If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold commit 07fdfc5e9f1c966be8722e8fa927e5ea140df5ce upstream. Fix return value in probe error path, which could end up returning success (0) on errors. This could in turn lead to use-after-free or double free (e.g. in port_remove) when the port device is removed.
