From: Chris Lew <clew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f7e714988edaffe6ac578318e99501149b067ba0 upstream. The device release function is set before registering with rpmsg. If rpmsg registration fails, the framework will call device_put(), which invokes the release function. The channel create logic does not need to free rpdev if rpmsg_register_device() fails and release is called.
