Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's i3c dw driver. The dw_i3c_master_i2c_xfers() function allocates memory for a transfer structure. However, if a runtime power management operation fails, the allocated memory is not properly released. This oversight leads to a memory leak, which can degrade system performance over time.
