[PATCH] ALSA: pcmcia: Fix resource leak in snd_pdacf_probe error path

From: Haotian Zhang

Date: Mon Dec 15 2025 - 04:05:34 EST


When pdacf_config() fails, snd_pdacf_probe() returns the error code
directly without freeing the sound card resources allocated by
snd_card_new(), which leads to a memory leak.

Add proper error handling to free the sound card and clear the card
list entry when pdacf_config() fails.
