All error handling paths go to 'out', except this one. Be consistent and
also branch to 'out' here.

    This patch is based on analysis of the surrounding code and should be
    reviewed with care !

    If the patch is wrong, maybe a comment in the code could explain why.

/!\ Speculative /!\

Looks okay to me, but I'd rather not much around the code for a
subjective preference. The existing code also avoids the pointless
put_device() and personally is easier to read (ok, nothing more of
relevance is done after this return) than trying to follow the
execution to the out and then realizing the put_device() is a NOP,
etc. It also means future changes to "out" will need to accommodate
for this path that doesn't really need the "out" path.

Agreed,

I didn't realized that this code was executed only if "if (sup_dev)" fails, so only if sup_dev is NULL.

Sorry for the noise.
