[PATCH] platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: Fix error handling in hp_add_other_attributes()

From: Harshit Mogalapalli
Date: Fri Nov 10 2023 - 14:40:10 EST


1. acpi_object *obj is unused in this function, so delete it, also
delete a unnecessary kfree(obj);
2. Fix a memory leak of 'attr_name_kobj' in the error handling path.
3. When kobject_init_and_add() fails on every subsequent error path call
kobject_put() to cleanup.

Fixes: a34fc329b189 ("platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: bioscfg")
