From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 07 2022 - 14:11:48 EST


From: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d44616c6cc3e35eea03ecfe9040edfa2b486a059 upstream.

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.
