Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bus: fsl-mc: fix double-free on mc_dev<br />
<br />
The blamed commit tried to simplify how the deallocations are done but,<br />
in the process, introduced a double-free on the mc_dev variable.<br />
<br />
In case the MC device is a DPRC, a new mc_bus is allocated and the<br />
mc_dev variable is just a reference to one of its fields. In this<br />
circumstance, on the error path only the mc_bus should be freed.<br />
<br />
This commit introduces back the following checkpatch warning which is a<br />
false-positive.<br />
<br />
WARNING: kfree(NULL) is safe and this check is probably not required<br />
+ if (mc_bus)<br />
+ kfree(mc_bus);
