From fac253e52fda73b6610f39716abe04dd2d919fb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suzuki K Poulose Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 13:17:36 -0600 Subject: coresight: Document error handling in coresight_register commit 6403587a930c ("coresight: use put_device() instead of kfree()") fixes the double freeing of resources and ensures that the device refcount is dropped properly. Add a comment to explain this to help the readers and prevent people trying to "unfix" it again. While at it, rename the labels for better readability.
