[PATCH] mtd: core: avoid double-free of OTP NVMEM device

Karl Mehltretter <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.infradead.lists.linux-mtd,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
If factory OTP setup fails after the user OTP NVMEM device has been
registered, mtd_otp_nvmem_add() unregisters the user device but leaves
mtd->otp_user_nvmem set. On an error, the caller unregisters it again.
For -EOPNOTSUPP, registration continues and normal teardown unregisters
it again.

Clear mtd->otp_user_nvmem after unregistering it.

Fixes: e0489f6e221f ("mtd: core: fix error path for nvmem provider")
Fixes: fe0b8213c012 ("mtd: core: Don't fail mtd_otp_nvmem_add() if OTP is unsupported")
