[PATCH 6.6.y] ASoC: hdac_hda: Fix hlink refcount leak on component registration failure

[Artem Dinaburg]

From: Haoxiang Li <haoxiang_li2024@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6ad4892c4f5cb437a928a02f5b7d37d496aa9268 ]

hdac_hda_dev_probe() gets the HDA link with snd_hdac_ext_bus_link_get()
before registering the ASoC component. If component registration fails,
the function returns without dropping the link reference.

Always call snd_hdac_ext_bus_link_put() after the registration attempt so
the reference taken during probe is balanced on both success and failure.

Hi,

Please consider this backport of the fix for CVE-2026-89944 to 6.6.y.

The code changes are identical to upstream.

The complete fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y and 7.2.y.

Build-tested only as part of a cumulative 6.6.y series: x86_64 objects
(allmodconfig, CONFIG_WERROR=y); no runtime testing.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
