Subject[PATCH 1/2] gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_export_link
Date
Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop
reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link.

Fixes: a4177ee7f1a8 ("gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named
using sysfs links")
Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v2.6.32
