gpio: sysfs: fix memory leak in gpiod_export_link
commit 0f303db08df0df9bd0966443ad6001e63960af16 upstream. Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link. Fixes: a4177ee7f1a8 ("gpiolib: allow exported GPIO nodes to be named using sysfs links") Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> [ luis: backported to 3.16: - file rename: drivers/gpio/gpiolib-sysfs.c -> drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c ] Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>
