[PATCH] thermal: core: move tz->device.groups cleanup to thermal_release

From: Jacob von Chorus
Date: Fri Dec 30 2016 - 14:09:07 EST


The device_unregister call in thermal_zone_device_unregister causes the
thermal_zone_device structure to be freed before the call to free the
dynamically allocated attribute groups. This leads to a kernel panic.

Furthermore, the 4 calls to free the trip point attribute structures
occur before the call to unregister the device, leading to a kernel
panic when sysfs attempts to access the attributes to remove them.

This patch moves the kfree calls to clean up the dynamic attributes to
the thermal_class's thermal_zone_device release function.
