[PATCH] pinctrl: berlin: fix memory leak in berlin_pinctrl_build_state()

From: Yuan Chen
Date: Thu Jun 19 2025 - 21:54:19 EST


From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@xxxxxxxxxx>

In the original implementation, krealloc() failure handling incorrectly
assigned the original memory pointer to NULL after kfree(), causing a
memory leak when reallocation failed.
