[PATCH 2/2] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Mon Jan 26 2015 - 06:04:43 EST


Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop
reference to device returned by class_find_device when setting the
gpio-line polarity.

Fixes: 0769746183ca ("gpiolib: add support for changing value polarity
in sysfs")
