Subject: ALSA: pcmtest: fix reference leak on failed device registration
From: Guangshuo Li <lgs201920130244@gmail.com>
commit 4ff036f95238f02c87e5d7c0a9d93748582a8950 upstream.
When platform_device_register() fails in mod_init(), the embedded struct
device in pcmtst_pdev has already been initialized by
device_initialize(), but the failure path returns the error without
dropping the device reference for the current platform device:
mod_init()
-> platform_device_register(&pcmtst_pdev)
-> device_initialize(&pcmtst_pdev.dev)
-> setup_pdev_dma_masks(&pcmtst_pdev)
-> platform_device_add(&pcmtst_pdev)
This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails.
Fix this by calling platform_device_put() before returning the error.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review.
