Summary

In the Linux kernel, mhi_register_controller() adds the controller device before creating the optional trigger_edl sysfs file. If sysfs_create_file() fails, the error path only drops the device reference and leaves the device registered.

Risk Assessment

Leaving the device registered after a failure can lead to resource leaks and an inconsistent MHI controller state.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that calls device_del() in the error path before put_device().
