Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: kyro: Release WC setup on registration failure
If register_framebuffer() fails, kyrofb_probe() frees the framebuffer
without releasing its write-combining range. Release the range before
freeing the framebuffer. Earlier failures still skip this cleanup.
The missing cleanup already exists in the initial Git import, before
the conversion from mtrr_add() to arch_phys_wc_add().
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
