Subject: watchdog: starfive: Fix resource leak in probe error path
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5bcc5786a0cfa9249ccbe539833040a6285d0de3;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

watchdog: starfive: Fix resource leak in probe error path

If pm_runtime_put_sync() fails after watchdog_register_device()
succeeds, the probe function jumps to err_exit without
unregistering the watchdog device. This leaves the watchdog
registered in the subsystem while the driver fails to load,
resulting in a resource leak.

Add a new error label err_unregister_wdt to properly unregister
the watchdog device.
