CVE-2026-23162

EUVD-2026-5874
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/nvm: Fix double-free on aux add failure

After a successful auxiliary_device_init(), aux_dev->dev.release
(xe_nvm_release_dev()) is responsible for the kfree(nvm). When
there is failure with auxiliary_device_add(), driver will call
auxiliary_device_uninit(), which call put_device(). So that the
.release callback will be triggered to free the memory associated
with the auxiliary_device.

Move the kfree(nvm) into the auxiliary_device_init() failure path
and remove the err goto path to fix below error.
