[PATCH] tpm: fix the cleanup of struct tpm_chip

[PATCH] tpm: fix the cleanup of struct tpm_chip

[Jarkko Sakkinen]

If the initialization fails before tpm_chip_register(), put_device()
will be not called, which causes release callback not to be called.
This patch fixes the issue by adding put_device() to devres list of
the parent device.

Erm, if you do this, then shouldn't the device_unregister change to
device_del to keep the kref balanced?

Yes, it should. Weird, I added pr_info() (temporarily) to
tpm_dev_release() and did occur only once and no crashes whatsoever.

Anyway, you're right.

Update:

https://github.com/jsakkine/linux-tpmdd/commit/a1aa547bbd2178628df798c27abaad073acb2441

I tested that the release gets called (as a sanity check).

Ack?

It is hard to make use after free show up in testing, testing does not
replace actually auditing these sorts of things.

Erm, don't forget the error handling here.

Something like this:

	rc = devm_add_action(dev, (void (*)(void *)) put_device, &chip->dev);
	if (rc) {
		put_device(&chip->dev);
		return ERR_PTR(rc);
	}

I'll implement that as a separate commit since it is already in pull
request. Thanks.
