Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak
Date: Sat,  5 Aug 2023 07:36:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230805053610.7106-1-W_Armin@gmx.de> (raw)

If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(),
a reference to that attribute is returned. This means
that we need to dispose it accordingly. Use kobject_put()
to dispose the duplicate attribute in such a case.

Compile-tested only.

Fixes: e8a60aa7404b ("platform/x86: Introduce support for Systems Management Driver over WMI for Dell Systems")
