There is a spurious 'put_device()' in the remove function. A reference to 'pdev->dev' is taken in the probe function without a corresponding 'get_device()' to increment the refcounted reference. Add the missing 'get_device()' and update the error handling path accordingly. Fixes: d10e4a660d11 ("unicore32 machine related files: add i2c bus drivers for pkunity-v3 soc") Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is provided as-is. It is not even compile tested because I don't use cross-compiler. It is purely speculative and based on what looks like an unbalanced 'put_device()' in the remove function. --- drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-puv3.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-puv3.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-puv3.c index 5cec5a36807d..62a4b860d3c0 100644 --- a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-puv3.c +++ b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-puv3.c @@ -203,18 +203,20 @@ static int puv3_i2c_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) mem->start); adapter->algo = &puv3_i2c_algorithm; adapter->class = I2C_CLASS_HWMON; - adapter->dev.parent = &pdev->dev; + adapter->dev.parent = get_device(&pdev->dev); platform_set_drvdata(pdev, adapter); adapter->nr = pdev->id; rc = i2c_add_numbered_adapter(adapter); if (rc) - goto fail_add_adapter; + goto fail_put_device; dev_info(&pdev->dev, "PKUnity v3 i2c bus adapter.\n"); return 0; +fail_put_device: + put_device(&pdev->dev); fail_add_adapter: kfree(adapter); fail_nomem: -- 2.25.1
