From: Zeng Heng <zengheng4@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 5f4b204b6b8153923d5be8002c5f7082985d153f ] Here is a warning report about lack of registered release() from kobject lib: Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 48430 at drivers/base/core.c:2332 device_release+0x104/0x120 Call Trace: kobject_put+0xdc/0x180 put_device+0x1b/0x30 regulator_register+0x651/0x1170 devm_regulator_register+0x4f/0xb0 When regulator_register() returns fail and directly goto `clean` symbol, rdev->dev has not registered release() function yet (which is registered by regulator_class in the following), so rdev needs to be freed manually. If rdev->dev.of_node is not NULL, which means the of_node has gotten by regulator_of_get_init_data(), it needs to call of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak. Otherwise, only calling put_device() would lead memory leak of rdev in further: unreferenced object 0xffff88810d0b1000 (size 2048): comm "107-i2c-rtq6752", pid 48430, jiffies 4342258431 (age 1341.780s) backtrace: kmalloc_trace+0x22/0x110 regulator_register+0x184/0x1170 devm_regulator_register+0x4f/0xb0 When regulator_register() returns fail and goto `wash` symbol, rdev->dev has registered release() function, so directly call put_device() to cleanup everything.
