Maybe you are right. But I don't know, which function in the device core does it. It is safe to have this line. So, I suggest to keep it. > >> device_unregister(childdev); >> } >> +static void snd_devm_release(struct device *dev) >> +{ >> + struct bcm2835_chip *chip = dev_get_drvdata(dev); >> + >> + kfree(chip); >> +} > >> /* chip-specific constructor >> @@ -122,7 +136,7 @@ static int snd_bcm2835_create(struct snd_card *card, >> >> err = snd_device_new(card, SNDRV_DEV_LOWLEVEL, chip, &ops); >> if (err) { >> - snd_bcm2835_free(chip); >> + kfree(chip); > Do you call device_register() inside snd_device_new()? > In this case you might need put_device() here instead of simple kfree(). No, from what I see, device_register() does not happen inside snd_device_new(). >> return err; >> }
