6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 528ab3e605cabf2f9c9bd5944d3bfe15f6e94f81 ] If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference to that attribute is returned which needs to be disposed accordingly using kobject_put(). Move the setting name validation into a separate function to allow for this change without having to duplicate the cleanup code for this setting. As a side note, a very similar bug was fixed in commit 7295a996fdab ("platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak"), so it seems that the bug was copied from that driver. Compile-tested only.
