From 47b2116e54b4a854600341487e8b55249e926324 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuen-Han Tsai khtsai@google.com Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:21:35 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_acm: Refactor bind path to use __free()

After an bind/unbind cycle, the acm->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.
