[PATCH] hwmon: (w83627hf) remove VID sysfs files on error and remove
From: Pengpeng Hou
Date: Mon Jun 15 2026 - 02:47:55 EST
w83627hf_probe() creates cpu0_vid and vrm with device_create_file() when
VID information is available.
The error path and remove callback only remove the common and optional
attribute groups. Those groups do not contain cpu0_vid or vrm, so the
files can remain after a later probe failure or after device removal
while their callbacks still expect live driver data.
Remove the standalone VID sysfs files from both the probe error path and
the remove callback.
