[PATCH 020/150] hwmon: (sht15) Fix memory leak if regulator_enable() fails

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Mar 26 2013 - 12:18:43 EST


3.5.7.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 3e78080f8148 ('hwmon: (sht15) Check return value of
regulator_enable()') depends on the use of devm_kmalloc() for automatic
resource cleanup in the failure cases, which was introduced in 3.7. In
older stable branches, explicit cleanup is needed.
