It cannot, the extend_name field is const char* in the struct:

I don't get your question. I've followed the exact same pattern as for
"a" variable's initialization.
The initialization is before the switch case because the name of the
exposed sysfs file depends on the type of the IIO channel. If I move the
initialization in the switch case, I'll have duplicated code.

I don't know if we have to do something to revert the effects of
sysfs_attr_init but you sure are right that the a and b's attribute's
name is never freed. This case would be handled with devm_kasprintf, I
guess? Thanks.
