From a4eb490a41a0da3b1275fc7427084cf9ae2c3c1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arvind Yadav Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2018 16:56:10 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] HID: intel-ish-hid: use put_device() instead of kfree() Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even if it returned an error. Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized.
