3.5.7.17 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]> commit 343df771e671d821478dd3ef525a0610b808dbf8 upstream. After calling device_register(&bridge->dev), the bridge is reference- counted, and it is illegal to call kfree() on it except in the release function.
