From: Emil Goode <emilgoode@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit d1d70e5dc2cfa9047bb935c41ba808ebb8135696 upstream. If we fail to allocate struct platform_device pdev we dereference it after the goto label err. This bug was found using coccinelle.
