[PATCH 05/11] Driver core: Fix error handling in bus_add_driver().

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Feb 21 2008 - 18:51:21 EST


From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@xxxxxxxxxx>

- If the allocation of ->priv fails, the reference on the bus
must be dropped.
- If adding the kobject fails, kobject_put must be called to
clean things up.
