Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

regulator: core: fix resource leak in regulator_register()

I got some resource leak reports while doing fault injection test:

OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 100, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /i2c/pmic@64/regulators/buck1

After calling regulator_resolve_supply(), the 'rdev->supply' is set by set_supply(), after this set, in the error path, the resources need be released, so call regulator_put() to avoid the leaks.
