6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ma Ke <make_ruc2021@xxxxxxx> commit 0df11fa8cee5a9cf8753d4e2672bb3667138c652 upstream. When device_add(&udev->dev) succeeds and a later call fails, usb_new_device() does not properly call device_del(). As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'. Found by code review.
