Hello Andrey Smirnov, The patch 79567c1a321e: "spi: gpio: Use devm_spi_register_master()" from Apr 2, 2019, leads to the following static checker warning: drivers/spi/spi-gpio.c:435 spi_gpio_probe() warn: 'master->dev.kobj' not decremented on lines: 435. drivers/spi/spi-gpio.c 358 static int spi_gpio_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) 359 { 360 int status; 361 struct spi_master *master; 362 struct spi_gpio *spi_gpio; 363 struct device *dev = &pdev->dev; 364 struct spi_bitbang *bb; 365 366 master = spi_alloc_master(dev, sizeof(*spi_gpio)); 367 if (!master) 368 return -ENOMEM; 369 370 status = devm_add_action_or_reset(&pdev->dev, spi_gpio_put, master); 371 if (status) { 372 spi_master_put(master); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The devm_add_action_or_reset() function calls spi_gpio_put() on error so this seems like a double free. 373 return status; 374 } 375 376 if (pdev->dev.of_node) 377 status = spi_gpio_probe_dt(pdev, master); 378 else 379 status = spi_gpio_probe_pdata(pdev, master); 380 381 if (status) 382 return status; 383 384 spi_gpio = spi_master_get_devdata(master); 385 386 status = spi_gpio_request(dev, spi_gpio); 387 if (status) 388 return status; 389 390 master->bits_per_word_mask = SPI_BPW_RANGE_MASK(1, 32); 391 master->mode_bits = SPI_3WIRE | SPI_3WIRE_HIZ | SPI_CPHA | SPI_CPOL | 392 SPI_CS_HIGH; 393 if (!spi_gpio->mosi) { 394 /* HW configuration without MOSI pin 395 * 396 * No setting SPI_MASTER_NO_RX here - if there is only 397 * a MOSI pin connected the host can still do RX by 398 * changing the direction of the line. 399 */ 400 master->flags = SPI_MASTER_NO_TX; 401 } 402 403 master->bus_num = pdev->id; 404 master->setup = spi_gpio_setup; 405 master->cleanup = spi_gpio_cleanup; 406 407 bb = &spi_gpio->bitbang; 408 bb->master = master; 409 /* 410 * There is some additional business, apart from driving the CS GPIO 411 * line, that we need to do on selection.
