Subject: [PATCH] leds: lm3556: Don't call kfree for the memory allocated by devm_kzalloc
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:57:13 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1335106633.6261.1.camel@phoenix> (raw)
The devm_* functions eliminate the need for manual resource releasing
and simplify error handling. Resources allocated by devm_* are freed
automatically on driver detach.
Thus adding kfree calls here will introduce double free bug.
