[PATCH] leds: blinkm: Remove sysfs group on allocation failure

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 22:14:53 EST


register_multicolor() returns on allocation failure without removing the
sysfs group created by blinkm_probe(). Remove it on this path, matching
the helper's existing LED registration error cleanup.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
