Ioana Ciornei 1d5baab39e bus: fsl-mc: fix double-free on mc_dev
[ Upstream commit d694bf8a9a ]

The blamed commit tried to simplify how the deallocations are done but,
in the process, introduced a double-free on the mc_dev variable.

In case the MC device is a DPRC, a new mc_bus is allocated and the
mc_dev variable is just a reference to one of its fields. In this
circumstance, on the error path only the mc_bus should be freed.

This commit introduces back the following checkpatch warning which is a
false-positive.

WARNING: kfree(NULL) is safe and this check is probably not required
+       if (mc_bus)
+               kfree(mc_bus);
