Summary
fbdev: smscufx: fix error handling code in ufx_usb_probe
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbdev: smscufx: fix error handling code in ufxusbprobe

The current error handling code in ufxusbprobe have many unmatching issues, e.g., missing ufxfreeusblist, destroymodedb label should only include framebufferrelease, fbdealloccmap only matches fballoc_cmap.

My local syzkaller reports a memory leak bug:
