Subject: [PATCH 0/4] driver core: use put_device() instead of kfree()
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2018 11:25:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1520747459.git.arvind.yadav.cs@gmail.com> (raw)
Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.
