4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sanjuán García, Jorge <Jorge.SanjuanGarcia@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 63ba2d07b4be72b94216d20561f43e1150b25d98 upstream. chameleon_parse_gdd() may fail for different reasons and end up in the err tag. Make sure we at least always free the mcb_device allocated with mcb_alloc_dev(). If mcb_device_register() fails, make sure to give up the reference in the same place the device was added.
