Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: fix leaks on registration errors
Date: Tue, 16 May 2017 15:44:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170516134459.16698-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
Make sure to deregister and release the nvmem device and underlying
memory on registration errors.
Note that the private data must be freed using put_device() once the
struct device has been initialised.
Also note that there's a related reference leak in the deregistration
function as reported by Mika Westerberg which is being fixed separately.
Fixes: b6c217ab9be6 ("nvmem: Add backwards compatibility support for older EEPROM drivers.")
Fixes: eace75cfdcf7 ("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providers")
