    ARM: OMAP2+: timer: fix a kmemleak caused in omap_get_timer_dt · db35340c
    Qi Hou authored
    When more than one GP timers are used as kernel system timers and the
    corresponding nodes in device-tree are marked with the same "disabled"
    property, then the "attr" field of the property will be initialized
    more than once as the property being added to sys file system via
    __of_add_property_sysfs().
    
    In __of_add_property_sysfs(), the "name" field of pp->attr.attr is set
    directly to the return value of safe_name(), without taking care of
    whether it's already a valid pointer to a memory block. If it is, its
    old value will always be overwritten by the new one and the memory block
    allocated before will a "ghost", then a kmemleak happened.
    
    That the same "disabled" property being added to different nodes of device
    tree would cause that kind of kmemleak overhead, at least once.
    
    To fix it, allocate the property dynamically, and delete static one.
