acer-wmi: fix memory leaks in WMID_set_capabilities and get_wmid_devices
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When acpi_evaluate_object() is passed ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, the caller
must kfree the returned buffer if AE_OK is returned.

The callers of wmi_query_block() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, and thus must
check its return value before accessing or kfree() on the buffer.

This patch adds a missing kfree(out.pointer) before exit
WMID_set_capabilities() and get_wmid_devices().
