From dfdf141429f0895b63c882facc42c86f225033cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 22:04:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: fix error path in nvmem_add_cells() The current code fails to nvmem_cell_drop(cells[0]) - even worse, if the loop above fails already at i==0, we'll enter an essentially infinite loop doing nvmem_cell_drop on cells[-1], cells[-2], ... which is unlikely to end well. Also, we're not freeing the temporary backing array cells on the error path.
