Subject: [PATCH] driver core: fix memory leak in physical location error path
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 09:30:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102083018.1275566-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Make sure to free the physical location memory also in the unlikely
event that creating its sysfs attributes fails during probe.

Fixes: 6423d2951087 ("driver core: Add sysfs support for physical location of a device")
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-b178c32c-f23b-48fd-9463-70f321f2d91e
