From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fe3c60684377d5ad9b0569b87ed3e26e12c8173b ] kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Callback function fw_cfg_sysfs_release_entry() in kobject_put() can handle the pointer "entry" properly.
