In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix ACP MFD device leak on init failure
acp_hw_init() registers ACP child devices with mfd_add_devices() before
attaching them to the ACP power domain and initializing the hardware.
If attaching a child to the power domain fails, or if the ACP reset or
clock enable operation times out, the failure path frees only the
source cell, resource, and platform-data allocations. The child
platform devices already registered by mfd_add_devices() remain
registered and are never released.
Remove the children from the power domain and unregister the MFD
devices on failures that occur after mfd_add_devices() succeeds. Keep
mfd_add_devices() failures on the existing cleanup path since the MFD
core already rolls back partially registered children itself.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
