clk: imx: clk-imx8mn: fix memory leak in imx8mn_clocks_probe

Published Sep 15, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: imx: clk-imx8mn: fix memory leak in imx8mn_clocks_probe

Use devm_of_iomap() instead of of_iomap() to automatically handle
the unused ioremap region.

If any error occurs, regions allocated by kzalloc() will leak,
but using devm_kzalloc() instead will automatically free the memory
using devm_kfree().
