I was expecting that the devres allocated struct qmp would stick around
until the struct device's release callback came. As described in my
answer to Mani yesterday I was wrong.
As such you need to make sure that struct qmp stays around until
qmp_remove() and all qmp_put() calls has been made.
I presume a reasonable way to achieve this is to not use devm to
allocate our struct qmp, add a kref to the object. So this would have to
be a kref_put() on that instead of the platform_device_put() I asked you
to implement here.
Sorry about that.
The rest of the patch looks good.

Hi Bjorn,
Even if we use kref_put(), would it not require platform_device_put()?
As per my understanding of_find_device_by_node(np) will increment
node/pdev kobj refcount which both needs to be decremented.
