Subject: Re: [Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau/iccsense: fix memory leak on
 default sensor->type case

Hi Colin,

thanks for pointing this out, but I am quite sure this continue
statement won't ever be hit, ever.

check the nvkm_iccsense_create_sensor function. A sensor object will
only be created for one of those three types and others don't exist.
I've just added that default statement to shut GCC I think.

The thing is I reworked that code already and will check if this
situation still applies there.
