Subject: [PATCH] coresight: use put_device() instead of kfree()
Date:   Sun, 18 Mar 2018 13:08:42 +0530
Message-Id: <d5a326b6c284f7389301b265716dc58fda492c98.1521358552.git.arvind.yadav.cs@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error. Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.
