Ben,

in drivers/pci/probe.c::pci_scan_device() there is

        pci_set_of_node(dev);

        if (pci_setup_device(dev)) {
                kfree(dev);
                return NULL;
        }

so if pci_setup_device fails, there is one dev reference is not release.

please check you can just move down pci_set_of_node down after that
failing path, like


        if (pci_setup_device(dev)) {
                kfree(dev);
                return NULL;
        }

        pci_set_of_node(dev);

No, we want the OF node set when we run the quirks, we intentionally do
that early, the right thing to do is to to call pci_release_of_node()
in the error path (it's safe to call even if the node is NULL).

Good.

We have two options.
1. can you please submit one complete patch, and get it merged into v3.10.
2. put it together with pci_alloc_dev patchset towards to v3.11?

Thanks

Yinghai
