Subject: [PATCH 4.16 033/161] sparc: vio: use put_device() instead of kfree()

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 00ad691ab140b54ab9f5de5e74cb994f552e8124 ]

Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even
if it returned an error. Always use put_device() to give up the
reference initialized.
