Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Driver core: Fix memory leak on sysdev_class_register error path
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:09:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1279836546-26913-5-git-send-email-ppannuto@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1279836546-26913-1-git-send-email-ppannuto@codeaurora.org>

This leak is the same as the bus path; cls->kset.kobj.name is
set, but kset_register fails, thus nothing will ever call
kset_unregister and name will be leaked
