[GIT PULL v1 1/4] stm class: Fix a double free of stm_source_device
From: Alexander Shishkin
Date: Wed Aug 21 2019 - 03:51:03 EST
From: Ding Xiang <dingxiang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In the error path of stm_source_register_device(), the kfree is
unnecessary, as the put_device() before it ends up calling
stm_source_device_release() to free stm_source_device, leading to
a double free at the outer kfree() call. Remove it.
