Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] EDAC/versalnet: Fix device_register() error handling in init_one_mc()
Date: Wed,  1 Apr 2026 04:19:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401111903.2343006-1-ptsm@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401111836.2342918-1-ptsm@linux.microsoft.com>

When device_register() fails, it must be followed by put_device()
rather than kfree(), because device_register() calls
device_initialize() which sets up the device refcount. The matching
release function versal_edac_release() handles the actual kfree().

To simplify error handling and avoid complex unwinding, split
device_register() into device_initialize() and device_add().
Initialize the device early so put_device() can be used in all
error paths.

Fixes: d5fe2fec6c40 ("EDAC: Add a driver for the AMD Versal NET DDR controller")
