Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: int1092: Fix potential memory leak in
sar_probe()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The memory allocated for device_mode_info in parse_package() called by
sar_get_data() is not freed in some of the error paths in sar_probe().
Fix that by converting to use device managed allocations.
Fixes: dcfbd31ef4bc ("platform/x86: BIOS SAR driver for Intel M.2 Modem")
