[PATCH 07/33] platform: Define platform_device_put cleanup handler

From: Ben Horgan <ben.horgan@arm.com>
Date: 2025-11-07 12:36:05
Also in: linux-acpi, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Define a cleanup helper for use with __free to destroy platform devices
automatically when the pointer goes out of scope. This is only intended to
be used in error cases and so should be used with return_ptr() or
no_free_ptr() directly to avoid the automatic destruction on success.

A first use of this is introduced in a subsequent commit.
