From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.2 commit 5439f09724561d5417b559d70d7043db76e104ce category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8IW7G Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 402ab979b29126068e0b596b641422ff7490214c ] As the comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. Then, insofar resources will be freed in pcmcia_release_dev(), the error path is no longer needed. In particular, this means that the (previously missing) dropping of the reference to &p_dev->function_config->ref is now handled by pcmcia_release_dev().
