Remove name since it is not used actually ?

struct device *dev;

//faux_device_create() does not return ERR_PTR().
if (!faux_dev)
	return;

// avoid NULL pointer dereference in case of above error
dev = &faux_dev->dev;

use device_unregister() instead of above 2 statements?

put_device() for static device may trigger below warning:

drivers/base/core.c:device_release():
WARN(1, KERN_ERR "Device '%s' does not have a release() function, it is
broken and must be fixed. See Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst.\n",
			dev_name(dev));
