From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx> kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Because function omap_dss_put_device() doesn't handle dssdev->kobj, thus we need insert kobject_put() to clean up the kobject, when kobject_init_and_add() fails.
