Subject: [PATCH] stm class: fix a double free in stm_register_device()
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 23:26:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191120152632.6110-1-wenyang@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

In the error path of stm_register_device(), the kfree is
unnecessary, as the put_device() before it ends up calling
stm_device_release() to free stm_device.

Fixes: 7bd1d4093c2fa ("stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices")
