Subject: [PATCH] ARM: locomo: use put_device() instead of kfree()
Date:   Wed, 25 Apr 2018 20:10:29 +0530
Message-Id: <76a6e68332d57d67757bf2ba735fb2d3d3118d1f.1524667039.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.
