    drivers/video/backlight/da903x.c: introduce missing kfree · c0d861af
    Julia Lawall authored
    Error handling code following a kzalloc should free the allocated data.
    
    The semantic match that finds the problem is as follows:
    (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
    
    // <smpl>
    @r exists@
    local idexpression x;
    statement S;
    expression E;
    identifier f,l;
    position p1,p2;
    expression *ptr != NULL;
    @@
    
    (
    if ((x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...)) == NULL) S
    |
    x@p1 = \(kmalloc\|kzalloc\|kcalloc\)(...);
    ...
    if (x == NULL) S
    )
    <... when != x
