Yes of course, thanks. I've fix the 'kfree'.

device_initialize is only needed if you call device_add()
I use device_register() which calls both.

Done, thanks.

I guess they are on their own - they don't get any help...
Is there a problem that I'm not seeing here?
I think this only applies to code that calls device_create(tty_class, ...)
which is pty.c, vt.c, and "/dev/tty". These are all virtual devices so
having a slave doesn't make much sense... does it?

Good question. I hadn't thought that through.
When the tty is unregistered, it will drop the reference it has on ->parent
which the tty_slave. So we want that to be the last reference.
So in tty_slave_finalize() I need a put_dev() on the slave.
That must be the "put_dev" that you thought was missing earlier.
However that leaves a loose end. destruct_tty_driver() calls
tty_unregister_device() on all registered ttys for that driver.
If one had a tty_slave which was finalized, that will drop the reference on
the slave so it will disappear, which is all good.
But if one has a slave for which the driver hasn't been found yet, then there
will be no tty to unregister so the tty_slave cannot be dropped.
I guess I need to either take a reference to the driver - which doesn't seem
like a good idea - or use bus_find_device() to find any tty_slaves with that
driver, and drop them.
I'll see how that works out.
Thanks a lot!
