cf736ea6f902 ("thermal: power_allocator: do not use devm*
interfaces") was merged for 4.2-rc8.  It leaves an allocation of
memory with devm_kcalloc() that is then freed with kfree().  The
patch at the top of the thread[0][1] fixes this.  Can you either
merge this patch or revert cf736ea6f902 for 4.2?
