[PATCH net] gianfar: fix memory leak in gfar_parse_group error paths

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Sun Jun 21 2026 - 22:20:01 EST


In gfar_parse_group, if any allocation in the irqinfo[] loop fails,
or if of_iomap fails, or if the IRQ parsing fails, the already-
allocated irqinfo[] entries and mapped regs are not freed. The
caller's free_gfar_dev cannot clean them up because priv->num_grps
is only incremented after a successful return.

Fix by adding an err_out label that frees all successfully allocated
irqinfo entries and unmaps regs if mapped. Track the number of
allocated entries with 'allocated' and propagate the correct error
code.
