Subject: [PATCH 02/14] dio: fix device_register() error handling
Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2010 12:54:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1284900884-24285-1-git-send-email-segooon@gmail.com> (raw)

If device_register() fails then call put_device().
See comment to device_register.

 I cannot compile this driver, so it is not tested at all.
