From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 0f303db08df0df9bd0966443ad6001e63960af16 upstream.
Fix memory leak in the gpio sysfs interface due to failure to drop reference to device returned by class_find_device when creating a link.
