If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 103be4c1bd917d2505beb6b988a8a288cd884eca Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 1 14:30:18 2022 +0800 mmc: pxamci: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() [ Upstream commit 80e1ef3afb8bfbe768380b70ffe1b6cab87d1a3b ] mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path. So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call mmc_free_host(), besides, ->exit() need be called to uninit the pdata.
