From 493a7e0d5614c30e1f3e56d59ab774300a2609f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Torokhov Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 00:09:05 -0500 Subject: Input: fix input_free_device() implementation input_free_device can't just call kfree because if input_register_device fails after successfully registering corresponding class device there is a chance that someone could get a reference to it. We need to use input_put_device() to make sure that we don't delete input device until last reference to it was dropped.
