[PATCH] scsi: bvme6000: put SCSI host on remove

From: Guangshuo Li

Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 01:27:07 EST


bvme6000_probe() obtains a SCSI host through NCR_700_detect(). The
probe failure path drops the host reference with scsi_host_put(), but
the normal remove path does not perform the corresponding cleanup.

As a result, the SCSI host reference remains allocated after the
driver is removed.

Call scsi_host_put() after the IRQ has been released to drop the host
reference acquired during probe.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
