[PATCH] media: cec: core: Add missing rc_free_device() call

From: Jonas Karlman

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 18:21:13 EST


The commit dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and
urb/irq callbacks") removed the implicit call to rc_free_device() from
rc_unregister_device(). However, the commit missed adding an explicit
call to rc_free_device() in cec_unregister_adapter().

Add an explicit call to rc_free_device() in cec_unregister_adapter() to
fix the following issue reported by kmemleak after dw-hdmi unbind:
