Hi!
The reference counter of device allocated for power supply was incremented with each call to power_supply_get_by_name() and power_supply_get_by_phandle(). Add a symmetric 'put' operation so the device could be released after final put_device() call during supply unregistering. Rebased on next-20141007 + mine [1] patchset. Tested on Trats2 board (max77693 + charger manager). Kindly asking for reviewing/testing other drivers.
I'm not sure if we should support power_supply_put(NULL), but otherwise the series looks ok to me. Acked-by: Pavel Machek <redacted> -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
