Remove\nthe callback by cpuhp_remove_multi_state() in fail path.\nSimilar to the handling of arm_ccn_init() in commit 26242b330093 (\"bus:\narm-ccn: Prevent hotplug callback leak\")", "A resource leak flaw was found in the ARM DMC-620 PMU driver. If platform_driver_register() fails during module initialization, the CPU hotplug callback registered earlier is not removed, leaving a dangling callback." ],
  "statement" : "This affects ARM64 systems with DMC-620 memory controllers only. The leak occurs exclusively when driver registration fails during module load — an uncommon scenario that does not impact running systems.",
