[PATCH] platform, compal: Fix mem leak in compal_probe()

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Sat Jun 11 2011 - 13:11:10 EST


We'll leak the memory allocated to 'data' in
drivers/platform/x86/compal-laptop.c::compal_probe() if
sysfs_create_group() doesn't return 0.
Fix the leak by freeing the memory in that case.
