From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2016 12:25:36 +0200 The platform_device_put() function was called in one case by the add_numbered_child() function during error handling even if the passed variable "pdev" contained a null pointer. Return directly in this case. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
