## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: aspeed - fix double free caused by devm

The clock obtained via devm_clk_get_enabled() is automatically managed
by devres and will be disabled and freed on driver detach. Manually
calling clk_disable_unprepare() in error path and remove function
causes double free.

Remove the manual clock cleanup in both aspeed_acry_probe()'s error
path and aspeed_acry_remove().

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
