We use device_initialize() to take refcount for the device but forget to put_device() on device teardown, which ends up leaking private data of the driver core, dev_name(), etc. This is reported by kmemleak at boot time if we compile kernel with DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE. Note that adding the missing put_device() is _not_ sufficient to fix device unregistration. As we don't provide the .release() method for device, which turned out to be typically wrong and will be complained loudly by the driver core. Fix both of them.
