Subject: [PATCH] tpm: tpm_nsc: Fix a double free of pdev in cleanup_nsc
Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2011 07:58:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312415887.2604.1.camel@phoenix> (raw)

platform_device_unregister() will release all resources
and remove it from the subsystem, then drop reference count by
calling platform_device_put().

We should not call kfree(pdev) after platform_device_unregister(pdev).
