From e420637b81f78d0fbacf539bdb1b341eba602aea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Wed, 20 May 2020 15:00:19 +0300 Subject: w1_therm: Free the correct variable The problem is that we change "p_args" to point to the middle of the string so when we free it at the end of the function it's not freeing the same pointer that we originally allocated.
