[PATCH 1/2] platform/x86: int1092: Fix potential memory leak in sar_probe()

From: Abdun Nihaal

Date: Mon Jul 13 2026 - 07:07:35 EST


The memory allocated for device_mode_info in parse_package() called by
sar_get_data() is not freed in some of the error paths in sar_probe().
Fix that by converting to use device managed allocations.

Fixes: dcfbd31ef4bc ("platform/x86: BIOS SAR driver for Intel M.2 Modem")

Compile tested only. Issue found using static analysis.

v1->v2:
- Changed the patch to instead use device managed allocations for both
the device_mode_info and the context structure, as suggested by Ilpo
Järvinen.
v2->v3:
- Align the arguments to the opening paranthesis as suggested by Ilpo
Järvinen.

Link to v2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/platform-driver-x86/patch/20260710052806.100107-1-nihaal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
