If this 'kzalloc()' fails we must free some resources as in all the other error handling paths of this function. Fixes: 348048e724a0 ("ice: Implement iidc operations") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- 'event' is allocated and freed just a few lines below. It looks like a small structure, so maybe a better fix would be to avoid the kzalloc/kfree and use a local variable instead.
