Subject: hwmon: (core) fix resource leak on devm_kcalloc failure
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=38d8ed65092ed22f52a95f397855cace0260e110;p=linux-beck.git

hwmon: (core) fix resource leak on devm_kcalloc failure

If dev_kcalloc fails to allocate hw_dev->groups then the current
exit path is a direct return, causing a leak of resources such
as hwdev and ida is not removed.  Fix this by exiting via the
free_hwmon exit path that performs the necessary resource cleanup.
