[PATCH] nvmem: core: Prevent memory leak when device is unregistered
From: Mika Westerberg
Date: Mon May 15 2017 - 07:13:31 EST
The nvmem_unregister() calls device_del() for the device but forgets to
call put_device() to actually release the device object which causes
that memory to be leaked.
Fix this by calling device_unregister() for the device intead which also
calls put_device() for the device releasing it eventually.
