Subject[PATCH] m501fb: don't return zero on failure path in sm501fb_probe()
Date
If no framebuffers found, sm501fb_probe() breaks off initialization,
deallocates sm501fb_info, but returns zero. As a result, use after free
can happen in sm501fb_remove().

The patch adds -ENODEV as a return value in this case.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
