From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.2 commit 33519ccf9426c417b61bb57d777d843def7deecb 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 e3ea1b4847e49234e691c0d66bf030bd65bb7f2b ] If device_register() returns error in pccardd(), it leads two issues: 1. The socket_released has never been completed, it will block pcmcia_unregister_socket(), because of waiting for completion of socket_released. 2. The device name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this two issues by calling put_device() when device_register() fails. socket_released can be completed in pcmcia_release_socket(), the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
