Subject: [PATCH 4/4] w1: call put_device if device_register fails
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 20:22:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386962557-8899-5-git-send-email-levex@linux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1386962557-8899-1-git-send-email-levex@linux.com>

Currently, memsetting and kfreeing the device is bad behaviour.
The device will have a reference count of 1 and hence can cause trouble
because it has kfree'd. Proper way to handle a failed device_register
is to call put_device right after it fails.
