commit4ff036f952upstream. When platform_device_register() fails in mod_init(), the embedded struct device in pcmtst_pdev has already been initialized by device_initialize(), but the failure path returns the error without dropping the device reference for the current platform device: mod_init() -> platform_device_register(&pcmtst_pdev) -> device_initialize(&pcmtst_pdev.dev) -> setup_pdev_dma_masks(&pcmtst_pdev) -> platform_device_add(&pcmtst_pdev) This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails. Fix this by calling platform_device_put() before returning the error. The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and confirmed by manual review.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
