If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ma Ke commit 302c04110f0ce70d25add2496b521132548cd408 upstream. Once of_device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). Calling path: of_device_register() -> of_device_add() -> device_add(). As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'. Found by code review.
