> If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference to that
> attribute is returned which needs to be disposed accordingly using kobject_put().
> Use kobject_put() to dispose the duplicate attribute in such a case.
> As a side note, a very similar bug was fixed in commit 7295a996fdab
> ("platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak"), so it seems that the bug was
> copied from that driver.
