[PATCH v2] gpiolib: fix memory leak in gpiochip_setup_dev

[Zeng Heng <zengheng4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

gcdev_register & gcdev_unregister call device_add & device_del to
request/release source. But in device_add, the dev->p allocated by
device_private_init is not released by device_del.

So when calling gcdev_unregister to release gdev, it needs put_device
to release dev in the following.

Otherwise, kmemleak would report memory leak such as below:

Because at the point of gpiochip_setup_dev here, where dev.release
does not set yet, calling put_device would cause the warning of
no release function and double-free in the following fault handler
route (when kfree dev_name). So directly calling kfree to release
dev->p here in case of memory leak.
