[PATCH] pds_core: Fix possible double free in error handling path

From: hyper
Date: Thu Feb 29 2024 - 21:24:45 EST


When auxiliary_device_add() returns error and then calls
auxiliary_device_uninit(), Callback function pdsc_auxbus_dev_release
calls kfree(padev) to free memory. We shouldn't call kfree(padev)
again in the error handling path.

Fix this by returning error directly after calling
auxiliary_device_uninit().
