[PATCH] net: mscc: ocelot: Fix mirror reference leak on VCAP aux resource error

From: Wentao Liang

Date: Thu Sep 17 2026 - 07:40:57 EST


When ocelot_vcap_policer_add() fails, the aux resource setup returns
without releasing the mirror reference taken earlier by
ocelot_mirror_get(). The caller drops the filter without calling
ocelot_vcap_filter_del_aux_resources(), so the reference is leaked.

Release the mirror reference before returning the error.
