[PATCH net 1/2] net: arcnet: com20020-pci: clean up failed channels

From: Myeonghun Pak

Date: Mon Sep 14 2026 - 21:40:55 EST


After com20020_found() registers a netdev and requests its IRQ, seven
allocation or LED-registration failure paths free the netdev without
unregistering it or freeing the IRQ. The unfinished channel is not yet
on list_dev, so the common remove path cannot clean it up.

Route those failures through unregister_netdev() and free_irq() before
free_arcdev(). Keep failures before successful com20020_found() on the
existing free-only path.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research
while reviewing kernel code.
