Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: smscufx: fix error handling code in ufx_usb_probe The current error handling code in ufx_usb_probe have many unmatching issues, e.g., missing ufx_free_usb_list, destroy_modedb label should only include framebuffer_release, fb_dealloc_cmap only matches fb_alloc_cmap.
