The snd_ctl_led_sysfs_add and snd_ctl_led_sysfs_remove should contain
the refcount operations in pair. However, snd_ctl_led_sysfs_remove fails
to decrease the refcount to zero, which causes device_release never to
be invoked. This leads to memory leak to some resources, like struct
device_private. In addition, we also free some other similar memory
leaks in snd_ctl_led_init/snd_ctl_led_exit.
Fix this by replacing device_del to device_unregister
in snd_ctl_led_sysfs_remove/snd_ctl_led_init/snd_ctl_led_exit.
Note that, when CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE is enabled, put_device will
call kobject_release and delay the release of kobject, which will cause
use-after-free when the memory backing the kobject is freed at once.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
