Currently the spi_master is allocated by devm_spi_alloc_master() and devres core manages the deallocation, but in probe failure path spi_master_put() is being handled manually which causes "refcount underflow use-after-free" warning when probe failure happens after allocating spi_master. Trimmed backtrace during failure: refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. pc : refcount_warn_saturate+0xf4/0x144 Call trace: refcount_warn_saturate kobject_put put_device devm_spi_release_controller devres_release_all This commit makes relevant changes to remove spi_master_put() from probe failure path.
