[PATCH v1 1/2] platform/x86: panasonic-laptop: Fix sysfs group leak in error path

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Date: Tue Jan 20 2026 - 10:45:10 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The acpi_pcc_hotkey_add() error path leaks sysfs group pcc_attr_group
if platform_device_register_simple() fails for the "panasonic" platform
device.

Address this by making it call sysfs_remove_group() in that case for
the group in question.
