The patch titled
gregkh-driver-driver-core-class_device_add-needs-error-checks fix
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
gregkh-driver-driver-core-class_device_add-needs-error-checks-fix.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Fix class_device_add success case after
gregkh-driver-driver-core-class_device_add-needs-error-checks.patch broke
it. class_dev was no more put and class_name was no more freed before
leaving. The former caused locks on driver removal (class_dev usage count
could never be 0.)
