Subject[PATCH] media: vidtv: Add the missing kfree to avoid the memory leak
Date
Since kstrdup() allocate a space for e->name and will not automatically
free.
If kzalloc() fails, we just kfree e without e->name.
Then we cannot get the pointer 'e->name' and cause the memory leak.

Fixes: 3d1387b3b8f6 ("media: vidtv: fix some warnings")
