Subject: [PATCH 3/3] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: use __free(kfree) for automatic cleanup
Date: Wed,  5 Aug 2026 23:19:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806061925.625482-3-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806061925.625482-1-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

Use __free(kfree) for local pointer allocations in dispatch_proc_write(),
tpacpi_brightness_get_ecnvram(), and auxmac_init().

This ensures automatic memory cleanup when exiting function scope and
removes explicit kfree() calls on exit paths.
