Subject: [PATCH 4.15 003/122] ipmi_si: Fix error handling of platform device

4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@...sta.com>

commit 174134ac760275457bb0d1560a0dbe6cf8a12ad6 upstream.

Cleanup of platform devices created by the IPMI driver was not
being done correctly and could result in a memory leak.  So
create a local boolean to know how to clean up those platform
devices.
