From edb6cb3d7c9026d1a3bdfde9f74ed6c807285206 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe JAILLET Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 21:53:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] HID: alps: Save a memory allocation in 't4_read_write_register()' when writing data if 'read_flag' is false, there is no need to allocate and free memory. We can simply avoid the memory allocation and pass NULL to kfree.
