This is a very dangerous construction, I've seen it lead to driver
bugs. Better to require the driver to always do the put_device on
error unwind

The ida_simple_remove should probably be part of the class release
function to make everything work right

Linus will tell you not to kill the kernel - return the error code and
propagate it up to the module init function.

unsigned values shuld be unsigned int
