Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 15/92] PM / devfreq: use put_device() instead of
 kfree()

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

[ Upstream commit 2d803dc8f7a5f622ac47c3b650834ada3a2659b9 ]

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