In edac_pci_main_kobj_setup() when dev_root is NULL, kobject_init_and_add() is not called. if (err) { // err = -ENODEV; edac_dbg(1, "Failed to register '.../edac/pci'\n"); goto kobject_init_and_add_fail; // call to kobject_put() } This will cause a runtime warning in kobject_put() if the above happens. Warning: "kobject: '%s' (%p): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called." Fix the error handling to avoid the above possible situation.
