Visorbus_remove_instance calls device_unregister which in turn will call visorbus_release_busdevice. The function visorbus_release_busdevice was freeing the visor_device. The code in visorbus_remove_instance was then trying to reference the visor_device. This patch cleans up the code so the visor_device is not referenced after the unregister.
