This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled leds: led-class: Add missing put_device() to led_put() to the 6.2-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: leds-led-class-add-missing-put_device-to-led_put.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 95dc566ec8274c30acc807be93de8a0cf3fe454d Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jan 20 12:45:14 2023 +0100 leds: led-class: Add missing put_device() to led_put() [ Upstream commit 445110941eb94709216363f9d807d2508e64abd7 ] led_put() is used to "undo" a successful of_led_get() call, of_led_get() uses class_find_device_by_of_node() which returns a reference to the device which must be free-ed with put_device() when the caller is done with it. Add a put_device() call to led_put() to free the reference returned by class_find_device_by_of_node(). And also add a put_device() in the error-exit case of try_module_get() failing.
