When running with the latest kernel, we get the following kmemleak message: unreferenced object 0xffff8800c2a36100 (size 256): comm "modprobe", pid 629, jiffies 4294676002 (age 1531.115s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 .....N.......... ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 78 21 85 82 ff ff ff ff ........x!...... backtrace: [<ffffffff815449ce>] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [<ffffffff8113fa2b>] slab_post_alloc_hook+0x28/0x2a [<ffffffff81142004>] __kmalloc+0x12c/0x158 [<ffffffff8134c60b>] kzalloc.constprop.6+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffff8134cb71>] device_private_init+0x18/0x66 [<ffffffff8134f1e8>] dev_set_drvdata+0x1e/0x34 [<ffffffffa01e643e>] i801_probe+0x5d/0x447 [i2c_i801] [<ffffffff812a78be>] local_pci_probe+0x41/0x84 [<ffffffff812a7feb>] pci_device_probe+0xdf/0x10c [<ffffffff8134f90d>] driver_probe_device+0x12f/0x2ee [<ffffffff8134fb2b>] __driver_attach+0x5f/0x83 [<ffffffff8134de28>] bus_for_each_dev+0x64/0x90 [<ffffffff8134f36b>] driver_attach+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff8134ef34>] bus_add_driver+0xf2/0x1f0 [<ffffffff8135013e>] driver_register+0x8c/0xc3 [<ffffffff812a7bb4>] __pci_register_driver+0x62/0x67 According to the backtrace, it seems that we do not release the device_private field of adapter device in the fail path of i801_probe or the flow of i2c_del_adapter, so add the cleanup step to fix it.
