Subject: [PATCH 5.13 186/223] driver core: auxiliary bus: Fix memory leak when driver_register() fail

From: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@...ux.intel.com>

commit 4afa0c22eed33cfe0c590742387f0d16f32412f3 upstream.

If driver_register() returns with error we need to free the memory
allocated for auxdrv->driver.name before returning from
__auxiliary_driver_register()

Fixes: 7de3697e9cbd4 ("Add auxiliary bus support")
