Linux Kernel Resource Leak Vulnerability in DMA Engine MV_XOR_V2

A resource leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's DMA engine component, specifically within the MV_XOR_V2 module. The issue arises because a clock preparation and enabling call made during the module's probing phase is not properly balanced by a corresponding clock disable and unprepare call in the removal function. This oversight leads to a resource leak, which can potentially be exploited.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to a resource leak, which can cause memory to be improperly released or managed, potentially leading to degraded system performance or stability.
