You need to rebase this onto 202c08914ba5 ("firmware: sysfb: fix
platform-device leak in error path") which fixes the same error path leak
you are fixing in here too. Or we just have a neat conflict when merging
:-) But in that case please mention that you fix the error path leak too
so it's less confusing when Linus or someone needs to resolve the
conflict.
