From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2023 09:30:54 +0100 The kfree() function was called in one case by the apmf_sbios_heartbeat_notify() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. * Thus return directly after a call of the function “apmf_if_call” failed at the beginning. * Delete the label “out” which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
