From 91f4fe2ac4b6ca1d614ec3805ac4ddeceb536c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 16:16:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spi: fix parent-device reference leak commit 157f38f993919b648187ba341bfb05d0e91ad2f6 upstream. Fix parent-device reference leak due to SPI-core taking an unnecessary reference to the parent when allocating the master structure, a reference that was never released. Note that driver core takes its own reference to the parent when the master device is registered.
