Subject: [GIT PULL] firewire fixes for v6.7-rc4

Hi Linus,

Please take this pull request for v6.7-rc4 release. It includes a slight
change to fix scarce memory leak.

As I noted in pull request for v6.7[1], Linux FireWire subsystem still
has an issue of unexpected system reboot in AMD Ryzen machine with a
kind of PCI card. Recently I got a help of AMD developer[2] and got some
advices to investigate the mechanism of system reboot, but never catch
its tail yet... I wish to fix it within the development period for v6.8
kernel.

firewire fixes for 6.7-rc4

This pull request includes a single patch to fix long-standing issue of
memory leak at failure of device registration for fw_unit. We rarely
encounter the issue, while it should be applied to stable releases, since
it fixes inappropriate API usage.
