Subject: [PATCH 12/21] phy: mdio: fix memory leak
Git-commit: ca6e11c337daf7925ff8a2aac8e84490a8691905
Patch-mainline: v5.15-rc5
References: git-fixes
Syzbot reported memory leak in MDIO bus interface, the problem was in
wrong state logic.
MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED indicates 2 states:
1. Bus is only allocated
2. Bus allocated and __mdiobus_register() fails, but
device_register() was called
In case of device_register() has been called we should call put_device()
to correctly free the memory allocated for this device, but mdiobus_free()
calls just kfree(dev) in case of MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED state
To avoid this behaviour we need to set bus->state to MDIOBUS_UNREGISTERED
_before_ calling device_register(), because put_device() should be
called even in case of device_register() failure.
