[PATCH v3 2/2] HID: sensor: custom: Fix field sysfs group cleanup on failure

From: Haoxiang Li <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-07 07:16:14
Also in: linux-iio, lkml, stable
Subsystem: hid core layer, hid sensor hub drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Jonathan Cameron, Srinivas Pandruvada, Linus Torvalds

hid_sensor_custom_add_attributes() creates one sysfs group for each
custom sensor field. If sysfs_create_group() fails after some groups
have already been created, the function returns the error without
removing the previously created groups.

Add a local unwind path to remove the groups that were already created.
With enable_sensor exposed only after the field attributes are ready,
this path can free sensor_inst->fields without leaving enable_sensor
able to access pointers into that array.

Fixes: 4a7de0519df5 ("HID: sensor: Custom and Generic sensor support")
