[ Upstream commit 5f4b204b6b8153923d5be8002c5f7082985d153f ]
Here is a warning report about lack of registered release()
from kobject lib:
Device '(null)' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 48430 at drivers/base/core.c:2332 device_release+0x104/0x120
Call Trace:
kobject_put+0xdc/0x180
put_device+0x1b/0x30
regulator_register+0x651/0x1170
devm_regulator_register+0x4f/0xb0
When regulator_register() returns fail and directly goto `clean` symbol,
rdev->dev has not registered release() function yet (which is registered
by regulator_class in the following), so rdev needs to be freed manually.
If rdev->dev.of_node is not NULL, which means the of_node has gotten by
regulator_of_get_init_data(), it needs to call of_node_put() to avoid
refcount leak.
Otherwise, only calling put_device() would lead memory leak of rdev
in further:

backtrace:

regulator_register+0x184/0x1170
devm_regulator_register+0x4f/0xb0
When regulator_register() returns fail and goto `wash` symbol,
rdev->dev has registered release() function, so directly call
put_device() to cleanup everything.

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.
