From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Smatch detected two memory leaks on saved_ec: drivers/acpi/ec.c:1070 acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() warn: possible memory leak of 'saved_ec' drivers/acpi/ec.c:1109 acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() warn: possible memory leak of 'saved_ec' Free saved_ec on these two error exit paths to stop the memory leak. Note that saved_ec maybe null, but kfree on null is allowed.
