From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Fri Mar 19 2021 - 16:24:18 EST


Fix the following error:

smatch warnings:
drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:1020 __thermal_cooling_device_register() warn: possible memory leak of 'cdev'

by freeing the cdev when exiting the function in the error path.

Fixes: 584837618100 ("thermal/drivers/core: Use a char pointer for the cooling device name")
