Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / EC: Free saved_ec on error exit path
Date: Thu,  3 Jul 2014 00:35:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1404344109-30805-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

Smatch detected two memory leaks on saved_ec:

drivers/acpi/ec.c:1070 acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() warn: possible
  memory leak of 'saved_ec'
drivers/acpi/ec.c:1109 acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() warn: possible
  memory leak of 'saved_ec'

Free saved_ec on these two error exit paths to stop the memory
leak.  Note that saved_ec maybe null, but kfree on null is allowed.
