[PATCH] iio: hid-sensors: Fix memory leak on failure path in hid_prox_probe()

From: Alexey Khoroshilov
Date: Wed May 06 2015 - 17:49:07 EST


If prox_parse_report() fails, memory allocated for channels is not
deallocated, since it is still in local variable channels
while kfree() is called with indio_dev->channels.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
