Hi,

going one step further, this could even be:

	cdata = devm_kmalloc(dev, sizeof(*cdata), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!cdata)
		return -ENOMEM;

	cdata->fan_num = fan_num;
	cdata->data = data;
	cdev = devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register(dev, NULL, name, cdata, 
&dell_smm_cooling_ops);
	if (IS_ERR(cdev)) {
		devm_kfree(dev, cdata);
		return PTR_ERR(cdev);
	}

	return 0;


This reduces indentation and is slightly more common when testing after 
devm_kmalloc()


Just my 2c,

CJ
