Subject: [PATCH] HID: input: use __free(kfree) to clean up temporary buffers
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 21:05:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aaPIp-z92hMsI7J5@google.com> (raw)

The __free() cleanup automatically releases given resource when leaving
the scope, so use it to make the code less cluttered with error
handling.
