5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 402ab979b29126068e0b596b641422ff7490214c ]
As the comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()
to give up the reference in the error path. Then, insofar resources
will be freed in pcmcia_release_dev(), the error path is no longer
needed. In particular, this means that the (previously missing) dropping
of the reference to &p_dev->function_config->ref is now handled by
pcmcia_release_dev().
Fixes: 360b65b95bae ("[PATCH] pcmcia: make config_t independent, add reference counting")
