From: Robert Richter <rrichter@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4d59588c09f2a2daedad2a544d4d1b602ab3a8af upstream. All created csrow objects must be removed in the error path of edac_create_csrow_objects(). The objects have been added as devices. They need to be removed by doing a device_del() *and* put_device() call to also free their memory. The missing put_device() leaves a memory leak. Use device_unregister() instead of device_del() which properly unregisters the device doing both.
