From c61e2fc87f24cae4701f352fe9ecd4c5c143106c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miaoqian Lin Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 12:41:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: syscfg: Fix memleak on registration failure in cscfg_create_device commit cfa5dbcdd7aece76f3415284569f2f384aff0253 upstream. device_register() calls device_initialize(), according to doc of device_initialize: Use put_device() to give up your reference instead of freeing * @dev directly once you have called this function. To prevent potential memleak, use put_device() for error handling.
