From bbc780f8bab52fef1784151d3c4982cb1143edd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:15:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] driver core: fix device_create() error path We call put_device() in the error path, which is fine for dev==NULL. However, in case kobject_set_name_vargs() fails, we have dev!=NULL but device_initialized() wasn't called, yet. Fix this by splitting device_register() into explicit calls to device_add() and an early call to device_initialize().
