If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0d9beae0c9b6e36aaab7302ade03955c62e829d6 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 1 14:30:15 2022 +0800 mmc: alcor: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() [ Upstream commit e93d1468f429475a753d6baa79b853b7ee5ef8c0 ] 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 calling mmc_free_host() in the error path.
