6.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hao Ge <gehao@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3722873d49a1788d5420894d4f6f63e35f5c1f13 ] The value “-ENOMEM” was assigned to the local variable “ret” in one if branch after a devm_kzalloc() call failed at the beginning. This error code will trigger then a pcmdevice_remove() call with a passed null pointer so that an undesirable dereference will be performed. Thus return the appropriate error code directly.
