    thermal: core: move tz->device.groups cleanup to thermal_release · f53345e8
    Jacob von Chorus authored
    The device_unregister call in thermal_zone_device_unregister causes the
    thermal_zone_device structure to be freed before the call to free the
    dynamically allocated attribute groups. This leads to a kernel panic.
    
    Furthermore, the 4 calls to free the trip point attribute structures
    occur before the call to unregister the device, leading to a kernel
    panic when sysfs attempts to access the attributes to remove them.
    
    Here is an example of a kernel panic when the cpu thermal zones are
    removed upon cpu offline:
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

    This patch moves the kfree calls to clean up the dynamic attributes to
    the thermal_class's thermal_zone_device release function.
