From ece0fafff7ecc78f2c3194d3868e94e281da6d07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 17:47:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] auxdisplay: lcd2s: Use proper API to free the instance of charlcd object BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964361 commit 9ed331f8a0fb674f4f06edf05a1687bf755af27b upstream. While it might work, the current approach is fragile in a few ways: - whenever members in the structure are shuffled, the pointer will be wrong - the resource freeing may include more than covered by kfree() Fix this by using charlcd_free() call instead of kfree().
