Hello,
As per the kernel-doc guidelines, Devices that are tried to register
with device_register or to add using device_add, must use put_device
on their failure path (not kfree). This series contains 3 patches
for updating such instances. Same for kobject_init_and_add or
kobject_add, call kobject_put instead of kfree in case of error.
V4 <- V3
1. Added Fixes tags
2. update commit msg as per the suggestion on v3
V3 <- V2
1. Updated the commit msg of each patch to mention about the kernel-doc
guidelines.
V2 <- V1
1. Removed patch [1] as it is part of another series [2] already.
