[ Upstream commit 6e63153db50059fb78b8a8447b132664887d24e3 ]
If device_register() returns error in siox_device_add(),
the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As
comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()
to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this
by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in
kobject_cleanup(), and sdevice is freed in siox_device_release(),
set it to null in error path.
Fixes: bbecb07fa0af ("siox: new driver framework for eckelmann SIOX")
