Subject: [PATCH] virtio_console: Put device on failure
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:52:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aoWK_qpSBeO6Bw0M@michalis-linux> (raw)

If dma_alloc_coherent() fails, the buffer is freed but not the
reference which is acquired before calling dma_alloc_coherent().
Fix by calling put_device in the error path.

Fixes: 1b6370463e88 ("virtio_console: Add support for remoteproc serial")
