The ones for thinkpad_acpi and hp-wmi do (fix obvious bug, small and obviously correct, impossible to cause regressions). I don't know about the fix for dell-laptop since it is a lot larger. > - It must fix a real bug that bothers people (not a, "This could be a > problem..." type thing). Memory leaks are real bugs, especially these ones that _always_ happen and are not even on the error paths, but on the main code path... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

However, it looks like you're fixing two bugs there (set pointers to NULL, call _destroy()), so it would be better to have two (smaller) patches, maybe? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
