From 848c45964ded537107e010aaf353aa30a0855387 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ruanjinjie Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 14:47:25 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] misc: tifm: fix possible memory leak in tifm_7xx1_switch_media() [ Upstream commit fd2c930cf6a5b9176382c15f9acb1996e76e25ad ] If device_register() returns error in tifm_7xx1_switch_media(), name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked. Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized.
