[PATCH] m501fb: don't return zero on failure path in sm501fb_probe()
From: Alexey Khoroshilov
Date: Fri Oct 31 2014 - 18:41:18 EST
If no framebuffers found, sm501fb_probe() breaks off initialization,
deallocates sm501fb_info, but returns zero. As a result, use after free
can happen in sm501fb_remove().
The patch adds -ENODEV as a return value in this case.
