Ma Ke bf70d603af sparc: fix error handling in scan_one_device()
commit 302c04110f0ce70d25add2496b521132548cd408 upstream.

Once of_device_register() failed, we should call put_device() to
decrement reference count for cleanup. Or it could cause memory leak.
So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in
kobject_cleanup().

Calling path: of_device_register() -> of_device_add() -> device_add().
As comment of device_add() says, 'if device_add() succeeds, you should
call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has
not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count'.

Found by code review.

README

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.
