[PATCH] can: etas_es58x: fix memory leak in es58x_open()

From: Szymon Wilczek

Date: Mon Dec 22 2025 - 10:42:25 EST


When es58x_alloc_rx_urbs() fails partway through allocating RX URBs
(e.g., if usb_submit_urb() fails at iteration i), the function returns
an error but leaves any previously allocated and anchored URBs leaked.

The issue is that es58x_open() returns directly on es58x_alloc_rx_urbs()
failure instead of jumping to the free_urbs label, which would call
es58x_free_urbs() to clean up any anchored URBs.

Fix this by changing 'return ret' to 'goto free_urbs' to ensure proper
cleanup of all allocated URBs on failure.
