[PATCH] net: wan: framer: pef2256: Fix missing mfd_remove_devices() call
From: Haotian Zhang
Date: Mon Nov 03 2025 - 06:19:37 EST
The driver calls mfd_add_devices() but fails to call mfd_remove_devices()
in error paths after successful MFD device registration and in the remove
function. This leads to resource leaks where MFD child devices are not
properly unregistered.
Add mfd_remove_devices() call in the error path after mfd_add_devices()
succeeds, and add the missing mfd_remove_devices() call in pef2256_remove()
to properly clean up MFD devices.
Fixes: c96e976d9a05 ("net: wan: framer: Add support for the Lantiq PEF2256 framer")
