[PATCH v2 1/2] regulator/core: regulator_register: set device->class earlier

From: Michał Mirosław
Date: Mon Sep 18 2023 - 18:50:38 EST


When fixing a memory leak in commit d3c731564e09 ("regulator: plug
of_node leak in regulator_register()'s error path") it moved the
device_initialize() call earlier, but did not move the `dev->class`
initialization. The bug was spotted and fixed by reverting part of
the commit (in commit 5f4b204b6b81 "regulator: core: fix kobject
release warning and memory leak in regulator_register()") but
introducing a different bug: now early error paths use `kfree(dev)`
instead of `put_device()` for an already initialized `struct device`.

Move the missing assignments to just after `device_initialize()`.

Fixes: d3c731564e09 ("regulator: plug of_node leak in regulator_register()'s error path")
