Guenter Roeck 19d0cd2127 hwmon: (core) Do not use device managed functions for memory allocations
commit 3bf8bdcf3bada771eb12b57f2a30caee69e8ab8d upstream.

The hwmon core uses device managed functions, tied to the hwmon parent
device, for various internal memory allocations. This is problematic
since hwmon device lifetime does not necessarily match its parent's
device lifetime. If there is a mismatch, memory leaks will accumulate
until the parent device is released.

Fix the problem by managing all memory allocations internally. The only
exception is memory allocation for thermal device registration, which
can be tied to the hwmon device, along with thermal device registration
itself.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
