git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-5.15.y
git checkout FETCH_HEAD
git cherry-pick -x 8710af6a35201a6d01b5af8f7e4bad29cc40467f
# <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.>
git commit -s

Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: nvidia: Release write-combining handle on probe
 failure

Failures in nvidia_set_fbinfo() or register_framebuffer() leave the handle
from arch_phys_wc_add() allocated. Release it in the shared error path,
as nvidiafb_remove() already does on normal removal.

The missing cleanup was already present in the initial Git import,
when the driver used mtrr_add() directly.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
