Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: ab8500: Fix memory leak in ab8500_fg_sysfs_init
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 13:13:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220124131346.12571-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add():
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix memory leak by calling kobject_put().
Fixes: 8c0984e5a753 ("power: move power supply drivers to power/supply")
