Subject: Input: fix input_free_device() implementation
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=493a7e0d5614c30e1f3e56d59ab774300a2609f2;p=linux-beck.git

Input: fix input_free_device() implementation

input_free_device can't just call kfree because if input_register_device
fails after successfully registering corresponding class device there
is a chance that someone could get a reference to it. We need to use
input_put_device() to make sure that we don't delete input device until
last reference to it was dropped.
