3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 351b2bccede1cb673ec7957b35ea997ea24c8884 ]
Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.
