[lm-sensors] Probable memory leak issue

[lm-sensors] Probable memory leak issue

[Souley Madougou]

Dear developers,

I suspect that there is a memory leak issue in your code. In
sensors_parse_chip_name() you are allocating memory in the following line:
  res->prefix = strndup(name, dash - name);

In some circonstances, this memory is not freed in the sensors_cleanup()
function.

Best regards,
Souley Madougou.

Can you please send a patch fixing this problem you're seeing? If not,
please at least tell which version of lm-sensors you're looking at, and
what circumstances it takes to trigger the leak, so that I get a chance
to reproduce and fix it.

Thanks,
