Subject: [PATCH 04/15] vio: put device on device_register failure
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2010 11:05:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1284573958-8397-5-git-send-email-nacc@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1284573958-8397-1-git-send-email-nacc@us.ibm.com>
The kernel doc for device_register (and device_initialize) very clearly
state to call put_device not kfree after calling, even on error.
