There are two bugs:
1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier)
but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that
leads to a use after free.
2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to
release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the
device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.
Fixes: 5d9e2ab9fea4 ("mcb: Implement bus->dev.release callback")
Fixes: 18d288198099 ("mcb: Correctly initialize the bus's device")

I don't think this was actually applied and that's a good thing because
my patch wasn't correct. It needs to call device_put() on both
carrier and &bus->dev.
I'm going to send a v2 fix for this.

Actually, no... My first patch was correct. Calling put_device(&bus->dev);
will call the release function which will put the carrier. My first
patch was correct.
:P

This is still not in linux-next.

Hi Dan,
Greg asked me to resend the patch with Cc stable and I totally forgot to
do that, my bad.
I'll do that ASAP once the merge window opens again or earlier if Greg
is OK with it.
Byte,
Johannes
