hi Wei, thanks for the patch. It looks like I forgot that indeed, but
to me it looks like the subsequent error paths of
v4l2_fwnode_device_parse() and v4l2_ctrl_new_fwnode_properties() would
leak the same thing.

And since we only assign it to the subdev's ctrl_handler in the success
case later, you could simply add an error label:

                        ctrl_hdlr->error);
-               return ctrl_hdlr->error;
+               ret = ctrl_hdlr->error;
+               goto error;
        }
 
        ret = v4l2_fwnode_device_parse(&client->dev, &props);
        if (ret)
-               return ret;

        ret = v4l2_ctrl_new_fwnode_properties(ctrl_hdlr,
&hi846_ctrl_ops,
                                              &props);
        if (ret)
-               return ret;
+               goto error;
 
        hi846->sd.ctrl_handler = ctrl_hdlr;
 
        return 0;
+
+error:
+       v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(ctrl_hdlr);
+       return ret;
 }
 

what do you think? thanks!
