Hi,

Thanks for the review.


I will propose a v2 patch serie with some new helper functions:
   void destroy_trip_attrs(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
   void thermal_zone_destroy_device_groups(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)

'thermal_zone_destroy_device_groups()' will then be called in the error 
handling path of 'thermal_zone_device_register()', when 
'device_register()' fails.


Would you like me to keep the same patch granularity:
   - (new patch in the serie) - Add some new helper functions to free 
resources
   - add kfree(tz) in the actual error handling path    (despite your 
comment on patch 1/3, I still think it is needed in thie error handling 
path)
   - reorder error handling code
   - avoid code duplication

Or the 3 last ones can be merged together under a generic "Fix resources 
release in error paths in thermal_zone_device_register()" ?
