From 351b2bccede1cb673ec7957b35ea997ea24c8884 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arvind Yadav Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2018 15:40:37 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] xen: xenbus: 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.
