[ 37/38] hwmon: (w83627ehf) Fix memory leak in probe function

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 16 2012 - 19:39:35 EST


3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 32260d94408c553dca4ce54104edf79941a27536 upstream.

The driver probe function leaked memory if creating the cpu0_vid attribute file
failed. Fix by converting the driver to use devm_kzalloc.
