[PATCH v2] tty: serial: 8250: serial_cs: Fix a memory leak in error handling path

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Tue May 25 2021 - 15:44:12 EST


In the probe function, if the final 'serial_config()' fails, 'info' is
leaking.

Add a resource handling path to free this memory.

v2: Use an error handling path instead of introducing some managed
resources

I've not been able to find a Fixes tag. All I know is that it is old!
