Thanks, could I suggest that you post a v2 that looks a bit like this:

Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 net-next] bluetooth: unregister correct BTPROTO for CMTP

On error unregister BTPROTO_CMTP to match the registration earlier
in the same code-path. Without this change BTPROTO_HIDP is incorrectly
unregistered.

This bug does not appear to cause serious security problem.

The function 'bt_sock_unregister' takes its parameter as an index and NULLs
the corresponding element of 'bt_proto' which is an array of pointers. When
'bt_proto' dereferences each element, it would check whether the element is
empty or not. Therefore, the problem of null pointer deference does not
occur.

Found by inspection.

Fixes: 8c8de589cedd ("Bluetooth: Added /proc/net/cmtp via bt_procfs_init()")
