Yes, a good idea, because in the second repetition of this code sequence
you have the wrong set of gotos, and can end up doing
put_device(chip->dev) when dev is NULL :)

Good point. Which I missed entirely when I saw the patch before.
Taking the case of tpm_show_enabled(), it is called as a sysfs file
callback, right? So the sysfs/kobject infrastructure will pin the
device for the duration of the callback I presume?
