[ Upstream commit 402ab979b29126068e0b596b641422ff7490214c ]
As the comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()
to give up the reference in the error path. Then, insofar resources
will be freed in pcmcia_release_dev(), the error path is no longer
needed. In particular, this means that the (previously missing) dropping
of the reference to &p_dev->function_config->ref is now handled by
pcmcia_release_dev().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
