No, what msi_sysfs_populate_desc() does is not good, the only objection
here is the assignment after-the-fact you are doing just to work around
cleanup.h.  Surely there's a better way to tell it not to free the
pointer at this point in time other than this.

Yes, because if something can happen, you handle the error properly, you
don't reboot a machine.

No, you are now causing a NULL dereference (or close to it) if something
went wrong.  Properly check this and handle it correctly.
