I suppose this is fair, since that commit introduced error paths and
didn't clean them up. But one warning below:

This works because no sub-driver is using this mapping any more (i.e.,
because we killed coreboot_table_find()). Otherwise, we'd need to
explicitly kill all the sub-devices first. IOW, if this gets backported
to older kernels, it would need to go along with this and its other
dependencies:

b616cf53aa7a firmware: coreboot: Remove unused coreboot_table_find

But I guess that's a question for -stable. Or, we remove the 'Fixes'
tag? Or add another tag, to list other dependencies? Or just ignore it.

But for this change as applied to mainline:
