I know that this is not necessary from the point of view of C boolean 
semantics, but doing explicit comparison improves readability IMHO. 
Anyway, this is subjective and largely a matter of preference.
Besides, "Documentation/CodingStyle" does not seem to advocate one way 
or the other.
Also, I there is evidence that explicit comparisons are allowed in
the kernel source tree:

$  git grep '== NULL' | wc -l
22173
$  git grep '!= NULL' | wc -l
9987
$  git grep '!= 0' | wc -l
22993
$  git grep '== 0' | wc -l
46060

So, unless Greg Kroah-Hartman or Arnd Bergmann feel strongly that I need 
to make this change, I will not make it.

Yes, but wouldn't the implicit/automatic freeing only happens when the 
device itself is removed?

The function above may get invoked many times before the device gets 
removed. So, we would just keep accumulating wasted memory in the meantime.

OK, I will make this change, as there is no common cleanup to do in this 
case.

Yes, to ensure that callers that are not checking the return code from
