From d6a37229d72a52c0f025f2aff179c884eacf81ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 14:33:34 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] pstore/ram: Avoid allocation and leak of platform data commit 5631e8576a3caf606cdc375f97425a67983b420c upstream. Yue Hu noticed that when parsing device tree the allocated platform data was never freed. Since it's not used beyond the function scope, this switches to using a stack variable instead.
