4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 174134ac760275457bb0d1560a0dbe6cf8a12ad6 upstream. Cleanup of platform devices created by the IPMI driver was not being done correctly and could result in a memory leak. So create a local boolean to know how to clean up those platform devices.
