Subject: [PATCH 1/5] MIPS: ip22-gio: fix kfree() of static object
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:28:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424102849.2616035-2-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424102849.2616035-1-johan@kernel.org>
The gio bus root device is a statically allocated object which must not
be freed by kfree() on failure to register the device or bus.
Fixes: 82242d28ff8b ("MIPS: IP22: Add missing put_device call")
