    max9286_v4l2_register() calls v4l2_ctrl_new_std(), but won't free the
    created v412_ctrl when fwnode_graph_get_endpoint_by_id() failed, which
    causes the memleak. Call v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() to free the v412_ctrl.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
