commit d5a8aa5d7d80d21ab6b266f1bed4194b61746199 upstream.
If cooling_device_stats_setup() fails to create the stats object, it
must clear the last slot in cooling_device_attr_groups that was
initially empty (so as to make it possible to add stats attributes to
the cooling device attribute groups).
Failing to do so may cause the stats attributes to be created by
mistake for a device that doesn't have a stats object, because the
slot in question might be populated previously during the registration
of another cooling device.
Fixes: 8ea229511e06 ("thermal: Add cooling device's statistics in sysfs")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
