Subject: CVE-2022-49212: mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix refcount issue in atmel_nand_controller_init

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix refcount issue in atmel_nand_controller_init

The reference counting issue happens in several error handling paths
on a refcounted object "nc->dmac". In these paths, the function simply
returns the error code, forgetting to balance the reference count of
"nc->dmac", increased earlier by dma_request_channel(), which may
cause refcount leaks.

Fix it by decrementing the refcount of specific object in those error
paths.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49212 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
