Subject: [PATCH 5.17 017/298] staging: fieldbus: Fix the error handling path in anybuss_host_common_probe()

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit 7079b3483a17be2cfba64cbd4feb1b7ae07f1ea7 ]

If device_register() fails, device_unregister() should not be called
because it will free some resources that are not allocated.
put_device() should be used instead.
