Subject[PATCH 3.4 143/176] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_export_link
Date
From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

3.4.107-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 0f303db08df0df9bd0966443ad6001e63960af16 upstream.

Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop
reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link.

Fixes: a4177ee7f1a8 ("gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named
using sysfs links")
