Subject: drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c: call put_device on device_register() failure
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0c692d07842a67d9aa6b8266a80e4ac460a5c1a2;p=linux-beck.git

drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c: call put_device on device_register() failure

It is required to call put_device() if device_register() fails, so that
we give up the last reference to the device.  Calling put_device allows
for mdiobus_release to be executed, kfreeing the bus.
