Subject: [PATCH] soc: fix comment for freeing soc_dev_attr
Date: Mon,  7 Dec 2020 19:59:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201207185952.261697-1-krzk@kernel.org> (raw)

The soc_dev_attr is stored soc_dev->attr during soc_device_register() so
it could be used till the cleanup call: soc_device_unregister().
Therefore this memory should not be freed prior, but after unregistering
soc device.
