Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's crypto: caam module. When the dpaa2_caam_probe function attempts to set up network devices (netdevs) and the dpaa2_dpseci_dpio_setup() function fails, the allocated netdevs are not properly freed. This oversight in the error handling can lead to memory leaks, potentially impacting system stability and resource availability.
