5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dan Carpenter dan.carpenter@linaro.org
commit cd7eb8f83fcf258f71e293f7fc52a70be8ed0128 upstream.
Currently, if an automatically freed allocation is an error pointer that will lead to a crash. An example of this is in wm831x_gpio_dbg_show().
171 char *label __free(kfree) = gpiochip_dup_line_label(chip, i); 172 if (IS_ERR(label)) { 173 dev_err(wm831x->dev, "Failed to duplicate label\n"); 174 continue; 175 }
The auto clean up function should check for error pointers as well, otherwise we're going to keep hitting issues like this.
