CVE-2023-54221

A memory leak was found in the Linux kernel's i.MX93 clock driver. The imx93_clocks_probe() function returns directly without unregistering hardware clocks or freeing allocated memory when errors occur. The fix converts allocations to use device-managed APIs (devm_kzalloc, devm_of_iomap) and adds proper error handling goto paths.

This flaw affects only NXP i.MX93 SoC platforms and manifests during clock driver probe failures. The memory leak occurs only in error paths during driver initialization, not during normal operation. Given the limited platform scope and requirement for probe failures, the practical security impact is minimal.
