[PATCH] clk: tegra: tegra124-emc: Fix memory leak in load_timings_from_dt() on krealloc() failure
From: Wentao Liang
Date: Tue Nov 04 2025 - 02:43:09 EST
The function load_timings_from_dt() directly assigns the result of
krealloc() to tegra->timings, which causes a memory leak when
krealloc() fails. When krealloc() returns NULL, the original pointer
is lost, making it impossible to free the previously allocated memory.
This fix uses a temporary variable to store the krealloc() result and
only updates tegra->timings after successful allocation, preserving
the original pointer in case of failure.
Fixes: 888ca40e2843 ("clk: tegra: emc: Support multiple RAM codes")
