Subject: [PATCH] maple: switch to dynamic root device
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:41:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424104142.2617115-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
Driver core expects devices to be dynamically allocated and will, for
example, complain loudly when no release function has been provided.
Use root_device_register() to allocate and register the root device
instead of open coding using a static device.
Note that this also fixes a reference leak in case device_register()
fails which may be flagged by static checkers.
