A Lenovo ThinkStation S20 (4157CTO BIOS 60KT41AUS) fails to boot on
recent kernels including the think-lmi driver, due to the fact that
errors returned by the tlmi_analyze() function are ignored by
tlmi_probe(), where tlmi_sysfs_init() is called unconditionally.
This results in making use of an array of already freed, non-null
pointers and other uninitialized globals, causing all sorts of nasty
kobject and memory faults.
Make use of the analyze function return value, free a couple leaked
allocations, and remove the settings_count field, which is incremented
but never consumed.
Fixes: a40cd7ef22 ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Add WMI interface support on Lenovo platforms")

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.
