This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

mux: core: fix double get_device()

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 00:22:54 +0100 Subject: mux: core: fix double get_device()

class_find_device already does a get_device on the returned device. So the device returned by of_find_mux_chip_by_node is already referenced and we should not reference it again (and unref it on error).
