Hi all,

This patch series replaces manual cleanup and explicit kfree() calls with
the __free attribute from <linux/cleanup.h>. This modernizes the memory
management style and simplifies common error paths without altering any
functional behavior.

The __free attribute provides automatic scope-based cleanup, making
resource management clearer and reducing the chances of missing cleanup
on early returns.

No functional changes are intended in this series.

Testing:
  - Compiled with W=1
  - Build-tested on i86_64

Based on:
  <linux-v7.0-rc2>

Feel free to share your valuable input in context of the cleanup API.

Do you put random people in the Cc list?
