Subject[PATCH] can: softing_cs: fix memleak on registration failure
Date
In case device registration fails during probe, the driver state and the
embedded platform device structure needs to be freed using
platform_device_put() to properly free all resources (e.g. the device
name).

Fixes: 0a0b7a5f7a04 ("can: add driver for Softing card")
