CVE-2023-54301

A resource leak flaw was found in the Broadcom BCM7271 serial driver. In the brcmuart_probe() function, the baud_mux_clk clock is prepared and enabled but not released in error paths, causing a clock resource leak when driver probe fails.

This affects only Broadcom BCM7271 platforms using the 8250_bcm7271 serial driver. The leak occurs only during failed probe operations, not during normal runtime. Standard x86 systems and most ARM platforms are unaffected.
