Subject: [PATCH] regmap: debugfs: Fix a reversed if statement in regmap_debugfs_init()
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2021 14:42:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <X/RQpfAwRdLg0GqQ@mwanda> (raw)

This code will leak "map->debugfs_name" because the if statement is
reversed so it only frees NULL pointers instead of non-NULL.  In
fact the if statement is not required and should just be removed
because kfree() accepts NULL pointers.

Fixes: cffa4b2122f5 ("regmap: debugfs: Fix a memory leak when calling regmap_attach_dev")
