| |
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
Currently if the call to of_resolve_phandles fails then then ovcs is not kfree'd on the error exit path. Rather than try and make the clean up exit path more convoluted, fix this by just kfree'ing ovcs at the point of error detection and exit via the same exit path.
