commit5a0400aca5upstream. It's a common pattern in drivers to free the control handler's resources and then return the handler's error code on drivers' error handling paths. Alas, the v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() function also zeroes the error field, effectively indicating successful return to the caller. There's no apparent need to touch the error field while releasing the control handler's resources and cleaning up stale pointers. Not touching the handler's error field is a more certain way to address this problem than changing all the users, in which case the pattern would be likely to re-emerge in new drivers. Do just that, don't touch the control handler's error field in v4l2_ctrl_handler_free().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
