Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()

From: Gaosheng Cui <cuigaosheng1@...wei.com>

dev_set_name will alloc memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name in
nvmem_register, when nvmem_validate_keepouts failed, nvmem's
memory will be freed and return, but nobody will free memory
for nvmem->dev.kobj.name, there will be memleak, so moving
nvmem_validate_keepouts() after device_register() and let
the device core deal with cleaning name in error cases.

Hi Greg,

Here is a fix in nvmem core which can possibly go in next rc.
Could you please pick this up.

thanks,
Srini
