Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/4][resubmit] TPM: rcu locking

Reading the code again, we noticed that there's a put_device() missing
right inside this test:

>  	if (test_and_set_bit(0, &chip->is_open)) {
>  		dev_dbg(chip->dev, "Another process owns this TPM\n");
> -		rc = -EBUSY;
> -		goto err_out;
> +		return -EBUSY;
>  	}
> 
Since this was moved to a section before.
> -	get_device(chip->dev);
> -

I'll submit a patch to be applied on top of this one.
