Subject: ACPI / Battery: avoid acpi_battery_add() use-after-free
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e80bba4b5108c6479379740201b0a5d9da5ffbac;p=linux-beck.git

ACPI / Battery: avoid acpi_battery_add() use-after-free

When acpi_battery_add_fs() fails the error handling code does not clean
up completely.  Moreover, it does not return resulting in a
use-after-free.
