Are you joking?

NAK.

even device_register fail,it will have one ref hold, and
put_device(&bridge->dev)
it will trigger bridge->dev.release aka pci_release_host_bridge_dev;
that function will free the bridge.
You will have double free.

Please check commit log for sure.

    PCI: Fix refcount issue in pci_create_root_bus() error recovery path

    After calling device_register(&bridge->dev), the bridge is reference-
    counted, and it is illegal to call kfree() on it except in the release
    function.

    [bhelgaas: changelog, use put_device() after device_register() failure]
