More so the fact that it unconditionally frees the DMA mask allocation in the failure path can lead to slab corruption if the function fails later on for a device where it didn't allocate the mask. Just remove the offending code. Fixes: cdfee5623290 ("driver core: initialize a default DMA mask for platform device") Reported-by: Artem S. Tashkinov Tested-by: Artem S.
