[PATCH] media: i2c: vd56g3: Clean up subdev state on probe failure

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Fri Apr 24 2026 - 10:08:18 EST


vd56g3_subdev_init() calls v4l2_subdev_init_finalize(), which allocates
the subdev active state and requires v4l2_subdev_cleanup() to release it.

If vd56g3_update_controls() fails after finalize succeeds, the probe error
path currently skips v4l2_subdev_cleanup() and returns an error. The driver
.remove() callback is not called after a failed probe, so the active state
is leaked.

Route this error through a subdev cleanup label before freeing the control
handler and media entity.
