This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled pinctrl: core: fix possible memory leak when pinctrl_enable() fails to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pinctrl-core-fix-possible-memory-leak-when-pinctrl_e.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit df50956b4d6ae20f89f1966a05244ce21001ea06 Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 6 10:37:02 2024 +0800 pinctrl: core: fix possible memory leak when pinctrl_enable() fails [ Upstream commit ae1cf4759972c5fe665ee4c5e0c29de66fe3cf4a ] In devm_pinctrl_register(), if pinctrl_enable() fails in pinctrl_register(), the "pctldev" has not been added to dev resources, so devm_pinctrl_dev_release() can not be called, it leads memory leak. Introduce pinctrl_uninit_controller(), call it in the error path to free memory.
