I see. Indeed, the __free(put_device) can be an improvement in core.c

I think that this has to be done out of this series in a more globally way
because put_device() is used in several place in this file and having a mix
between __free(put_device) and put_device() calls in a goto label is not the
best solution.

For this reason, as you proposed except if someone else pushes in the
__free(put_device) direction in functions introduced in this patch, I
prefer to keep this patch as it is.

Thanks for your feedback,
Hervé
