[PATCH] HID: microsoft: add a call hid_hw_stop() in probe()

From: Jeongjun Park
Date: Wed Jul 16 2025 - 13:22:38 EST


If hid_hw_start() succeeds but ms_init_ff() fails, it will return without
calling hid_hw_stop(), which will cause a memory leak. So to prevent this,
we need to change probe() to call hid_hw_stop().
