[PATCH 3.16 028/370] powerpc/ibmebus: Fix device reference leaks in sysfs interface

Show all headers | View raw

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit fe0f3168169f7c34c29b0cf0c489f126a7f29643 upstream.

Make sure to drop any reference taken by bus_find_device() in the sysfs
callbacks that are used to create and destroy devices based on
device-tree entries.

Fixes: 6bccf755ff53 ("[POWERPC] ibmebus: dynamic addition/removal of adapters, some code cleanup")
