[PATCH] bus: fsl-mc: fix improper free of mc_dev

From: trix
Date: Tue Apr 27 2021 - 14:36:36 EST


From: Tom Rix <trix@xxxxxxxxxx>

Clang static analysis reports this error

fsl-mc-bus.c:891:2: warning: Attempt to free released memory
kfree(mc_dev);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this block of code

if (strcmp(obj_desc->type, "dprc") == 0) {
..
mc_bus = kzalloc(..)
mc_dev = &mc_bus->mc_dev;

mc_dev is not alloc-ed, so it should not be freed.
Old handler triggers a false positive from checkpatch, so add a
comment and change logic a bit.

Fixes: a042fbed0290 ("staging: fsl-mc: simplify couple of deallocations")
