Subject: [PATCH v2] of: unittest: fix memory leak in attach_node_and_children
Date:   Tue, 26 Nov 2019 02:48:04 +0100

Precedence: bulk

In attach_node_and_children memory is allocated for full_name via
kasprintf. If the condition of the 1st if is not met the function
returns early without freeing the memory. Add a kfree() to fix that.

This has been detected with kmemleak:

It looks like the leak was introduced by this commit:
Fixes: 5babefb7f7ab ("of: unittest: allow base devicetree to have symbol metadata")
