From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit e63e99397b2613d50a5f4f02ed07307e67a190f1 ] If device_register() returns error, the 'dev' and name needs be freed. Add a release function, and then call put_device() in the error path, so the name is freed in kobject_cleanup() and to the 'dev' is freed in release function.
