Subject: [PATCH 5.4.y 2/2] media: lirc: Fix error handling in lirc_register()
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 19:31:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251017233151.37969-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251017233151.37969-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Ma Ke <make24@iscas.ac.cn>

[ Upstream commit 4f4098c57e139ad972154077fb45c3e3141555dd ]

When cdev_device_add() failed, calling put_device() to explicitly
release dev->lirc_dev. Otherwise, it could cause the fault of the
reference count.

Found by code review.
