The reason is simple -- coretemp_create_sensor() forgot to actually add the created sensor to the list, so cleanup in coretemp_destroy() did not have anything to remove/free:

Thanks for writing this up, Yuri. I agree with the analysis here. I'll test this out and verify that we've cleaned up the leak.

We've tested this (ht Patrick) by loading this up on an Intel system with coretemp and verifying that after doing a rem_drv, nothing showed up in topo, and then panicked the system. From the dump there was no memory leak due to coretemp.
