Subject[PATCH] clk: socfpga: Fix a memory leak bug in socfpga_gate_init()
Date
In socfpga_gate_init(), when ops fails, socfpga_clk is not released or
passed out, which could lead to a memleak.

Fix this bug by adding a kfree of socfpga_clk on the failure path of ops.

This bug was found by a static analyzer.

Builds with 'make allyesconfig' show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

Fixes: a30a67be7b6e ("clk: socfpga: Don't have get_parent for single parent ops")

The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent
security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths
and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the
current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
