[PATCH 08/17] xhci: dbgtty: Fix unregister on tty_alloc_driver() failure

Mathias Nyman <[email protected]> Thu, 6 Aug 2026 17:21:04 +0300
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-usb,org.kernel.vger.stable
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Lucas De Marchi <[email protected]>

Make sure to set dbc_tty_driver to NULL to match the check in
dbc_tty_exit(). For that, make detached error handling path common to the
other branch in the same function.

Fixes: 4521f1613940 ("xhci: dbctty: split dbc tty driver registration and unregistration functions.")
