[PATCH 2/2] EDAC: i7core: fix memleaks and use-after-free on probe and remove

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Tue Jun 12 2018 - 08:46:50 EST


Make sure to free and deregister the addrmatch and chancounts devices
allocated during probe in all error paths. Also fix use-after-free in a
probe error path and in the remove success path where the devices were
being put before before deregistration.

Fixes: 356f0a30860d ("i7core_edac: change the mem allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy")
