Immediately after the platform_device_unregister() the device will be cleaned up. Accessing the freed pointer immediately after that will crash the system. Found this bug when kernel is built with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and testing loading/unloading audio drivers in a loop on Qcom platforms. Fix this by removing accessing the dev pointer.
