In edac_pci_main_kobj_setup() when dev_root is NULL,
kobject_init_and_add() is not called.
if (err) { // err = -ENODEV;
edac_dbg(1, "Failed to register '.../edac/pci'\n");
goto kobject_init_and_add_fail; // call to kobject_put()
}
This will cause a runtime warning in kobject_put() if the above happens.
Warning:
"kobject: '%s' (%p): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called."
Fix the error handling to avoid the above possible situation.
Fixes: cb4a0bec0bb9 ("EDAC/sysfs: move to use bus_get_dev_root()")

Hi,
This is the friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman. You have sent him
a patch that has triggered this response. He used to manually respond
to these common problems, but in order to save his sanity (he kept
writing the same thing over and over, yet to different people), I was
created. Hopefully you will not take offence and will fix the problem
in your patch and resubmit it so that it can be accepted into the Linux
kernel tree.
You are receiving this message because of the following common error(s)
as indicated below:
- This looks like a new version of a previously submitted patch, but you
did not list below the --- line any changes from the previous version.
Please read the section entitled "The canonical patch format" in the
kernel file, Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for what
needs to be done here to properly describe this.
- You have marked a patch with a "Fixes:" tag for a commit that is in an
older released kernel, yet you do not have a cc: stable line in the
signed-off-by area at all, which means that the patch will not be
applied to any older kernel releases. To properly fix this, please
follow the documented rules in the
Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst file for how to resolve
this.
If you wish to discuss this problem further, or you have questions about
how to resolve this issue, please feel free to respond to this email and
Greg will reply once he has dug out from the pending patches received
from other developers.
thanks,
greg k-h's patch email bot

No, this is a similar bug but in the edac_pci_sysfs.c file instead of
the edac_device_sysfs.c.
Let me resend these two patches as a patchset and change the subject to
make it more obvious(EDAC/pci_sysfs, EDAC/device_sysfs in title). And
add a CC stable tag.
Thanks,
Harshit
