From 75a5b8d4ddd4eb6b16cb0b475d14ff4ae64295ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuen-Han Tsai khtsai@google.com Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:21:34 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_ncm: Refactor bind path to use __free()

After an bind/unbind cycle, the ncm->notify_req is left stale. If a subsequent bind fails, the unified error label attempts to free this stale request, leading to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing ep->ops->free_request.

Refactor the error handling in the bind path to use the __free() automatic cleanup mechanism.
