6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ad90d0358bd3b4554f243a425168fc7cebe7d04e ]
Returning an error code from .remove() makes the driver core emit the
little helpful error message:
remove callback returned a non-zero value. This will be ignored.
and then remove the device anyhow. So all resources that were not freed
are leaked in this case. Skipping serial8250_unregister_port() has the
potential to keep enough of the UART around to trigger a use-after-free.
So replace the error return (and with it the little helpful error
message) by a more useful error message and continue to cleanup.
