Subject: [PATCH] drivers/base: fix iterator cleanup in attribute_container
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 23:57:52 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250226182753.257559-1-ayaanmirzabaig85@gmail.com> (raw)

This patch addresses a long-standing FIXME in
dirvers/base/attribute_container.c, where the function
failed to call klist_iter_exit() before breaking
out of the loop when a matching class device was found.

The code is now refactored to use a goto-based cleanup approach
that ensure klist_iter_exit() is invoked exactly once regardless
of the exit path.

In addition, checkpatch.pl warnings were fixed along with this change.

Tested on a minimal Debian System in QEMU with GDB attached.
No regressions or errors were observed.
