This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled hwmon: (ibmaem) don't call platform_device_del() if platform_device_add() fails to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: hwmon-ibmaem-don-t-call-platform_device_del-if-platf.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6020094b482fce844ed8fd69256665469623136c Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jul 1 15:41:53 2022 +0800 hwmon: (ibmaem) don't call platform_device_del() if platform_device_add() fails [ Upstream commit d0e51022a025ca5350fafb8e413a6fe5d4baf833 ] If platform_device_add() fails, it no need to call platform_device_del(), split platform_device_unregister() into platform_device_del/put(), so platform_device_put() can be called separately.
