Commit817b8b9c53("HID: elo: fix memory leak in elo_probe") introduced memory leak on error path, but more importantly the whole USB reference counting is not needed at all in the first place, as the driver itself doesn't change the reference counting in any way, and the associated usb_device is guaranteed to be kept around by USB core as long as the driver binding exists.

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.
