Subject: [PATCH] spi: fix parent-device reference leak
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:16:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450106179-27623-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Fix parent-device reference leak due to SPI-core taking an unnecessary
reference to the parent when allocating the master structure, a
reference that was never released.

Note that driver core takes its own reference to the parent when the
master device is registered.

Fixes: 49dce689ad4e ("spi doesn't need class_device")
Cc: stable <stable-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org>	# v2.6.24
