Subject: [PATCH] efi/efivars: Add missing kobject_put() in sysfs entry creation error path
Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 18:19:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200522161920.367-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
The documentation provided by kobject_init_and_add() clearly spells out
the need to call kobject_put() on the kobject if an error is returned.
Add this missing call to the error path.
