Line 5961 (#1) allocates a memory chunk for input by kmalloc().
Line 5966 (#2), line 5982 (#4) and line 5987 (#5) free the input
before the function returns while line 5979 (#3) forget to free it,
which will lead to a memory leak.

We should kfree() input in line 5979 (#3).

5953 static int rtw_mp_pwrtrk(struct net_device *dev,
5954 			struct iw_request_info *info,
5955 			struct iw_point *wrqu, char *extra)
5956 {
5961 	char	*input = kmalloc(wrqu->length, GFP_KERNEL);
	// #1: kmalloc space
5963 	if (!input)
5964 		return -ENOMEM;
5965 	if (copy_from_user(input, wrqu->pointer, wrqu->length)) {
5966 		kfree(input); // #2: kfree space
5967 		return -EFAULT;
5968	}

5973	if (strncmp(input, "stop", 4) == 0) {
5974		enable = 0;
5975		sprintf(extra, "mp tx power tracking stop");
5976	} else if (sscanf(input, "ther =%d", &thermal)) {
5977		ret = Hal_SetThermalMeter(padapter, (u8)thermal);
5978		if (ret == _FAIL)
5979			return -EPERM; // #3: missing kfree
5980		sprintf(extra, "mp tx power tracking start,
			target value =%d ok ", thermal);
5981	} else {
5982		kfree(input); // #4: kfree space
5983		return -EINVAL;
5984	}

5987	kfree(input); // #5: kfree space

5993	return 0;
5994 }
