Re: [PATCH] mtd: ck804xrom: fix missing pci device put in error paths

[James Bond <jameslouisebond@gmail.com>]

Hi Miquèl,
Thanks for your feedback.
I have just rechecked this function and find that "pdev" currently is
already put
inside ck804xrom_cleanup, so my previous patch is meaningless...
The current calling order is like:

window->pdev = pci_dev_get(pdev);
...
    ck804xrom_cleanup(window)
             ->
                  pci_dev_put(window->pdev);
And sorry for bothering you.
Thanks,
James
