Subject: power_supply: Add power_supply_put for decrementing device reference counter
X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~4492^2~20
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a352462b5377ac68f5955d674b3460c7bac52a3;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git

power_supply: Add power_supply_put for decrementing device reference counter

The power_supply_get_by_phandle() and power_supply_get_by_name() use
function class_find_device() for obtaining the reference to power
supply. Each use of class_find_device() increases the power supply's
device reference counter.

However the reference counter was not decreased by users of this API.
Thus final device_unregister() call from power_supply_unregister() could
not release the device and clean up its resources. This lead to memory
leak if at least once power_supply_get_by_*() was called between
registering and unregistering the power supply.

Add and document new API power_supply_put() for decrementing the
reference counter.
