Hi Kefeng,
I'm not seeing a path to be able to trigger this.
iio_dummy_evgen_create is called only in the module_init.
If it fails, then the init fails before the device
initialization call is made.
How would we then be running the device release call
in order to end up freeing this again?
So I think this is a false positive but perhaps there is
a path that I am missing.
