[PATCH] ARM: pxa: Fix error handling in viper_tpm_init

From: Miaoqian Lin <hidden>
Date: 2021-12-27 12:52:05

tpm_device get by platform_device_alloc(), which calls device_initialize.
Call platform_device_put(tpm_device) instead of kfree(tmp_device) to
prevent memory leak.

While this seems correct, I don't think we should make any effort to 
maintain legacy board support files but rather move to DTS instead. 
Robert and I laid the foundation and ported a few machines a while ago, 
but I was reluctant to touch the board support code I can't test on real 
hardware.

As you seem to have access to a Viper board, could you have a look at 
the existing device-tree ported PXA machines and see if you can follow 
suit here please?


Thanks,
Daniel
