[PATCH] firmware: imx: dsp: fix mailbox channel leak on kasprintf failure

From: Linkai Gong

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 06:10:53 EST


If kasprintf() fails while setting up mailbox channels, already
requested channels from earlier iterations were never freed. Route
the failure through the existing cleanup path.

Fixes: ffbf23d50353 ("firmware: imx: Add DSP IPC protocol interface")
