However, the error path labels are out of order\nrelative to the registration sequence.\n\nSpecifically:\n1. If asus_wmi_custom_fan_curve_init() fails, the driver jumps to\n   fail_custom_fan_curve. Because this label is placed below fail_sysfs,\n   it bypasses the cleanup calls for the input device and sysfs groups,\n   which were successfully registered before, leaking those resources.\n2. If asus_screenpad_init() fails, the driver jumps to fail_screenpad.\n   Because fail_screenpad is placed below fail_backlight, it bypasses the\n   cleanup calls for backlight and rfkill, leaking those resources.\n\nFix these resource leaks by reordering the error path labels in\nasus_wmi_add() to match the exact reverse order of the resource\nallocations."
