Subject: [PATCH 4.8 41/96] stm class: Fix device leak in open error path

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit a0ebf519b8a2666438d999c62995618c710573e5 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken by class_find_device() also on
allocation errors in open().
