The first 'for' loop of asus_wmi_configure_sensor_setup() only computes the number and type of sensors that exist in the system. Here, the 'temp_sensor' structure is only used to store the data collected by asus_wmi_sensor_info(). There is no point in using a devm_ variant for this first allocation and it can be freed just after this initial loop. So use kzalloc()/kfree() to save a few bytes of memory that would be kept allocated for no good reason otherwise.
