From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 13:56:42 +0100 The platform_device_put() function was called in one case by the add_child() function during error handling even if the passed variable "pdev" contained a null pointer. Implementation details could be improved by the adjustment of jump targets according to the Linux coding style convention. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
