Once the memory for the struct mdev_device is allocated it should immediately be device_initialize()'d and filled in so that put_device() can always be used to undo the allocation. Place the mdev_get/put_parent() so that they are clearly protecting the mdev->parent pointer. Move the final put to the release function so that the lifetime rules are trivial to understand. Remove mdev_device_free() as the release function via device_put() is now usable in all cases.
