In bcm_sf2_mdio_register(), the class_find_device() will call get_device() to increment reference count for priv->master_mii_bus->dev if of_mdio_find_bus() succeeds. If mdiobus_alloc() or mdiobus_register() fails, it will call get_device() twice without decrement reference count for the device. And it is the same if bcm_sf2_mdio_register() succeeds but fails in bcm_sf2_sw_probe(), or if bcm_sf2_sw_probe() succeeds. If the reference count has not decremented to zero, the dev related resource will not be freed. So remove the get_device() in bcm_sf2_mdio_register(), and call put_device() if mdiobus_alloc() or mdiobus_register() fails and in bcm_sf2_mdio_unregister() to solve the issue. And as Simon suggested, unwind from errors for bcm_sf2_mdio_register() and just return 0 if it succeeds to make it cleaner.
