Once we have called device_initialize(), we should use put_device() to
give up the reference on error, just like what we have done on failure
of device_add().

Please consider having following commit message, since above
commit message is looking odd from what we have in the tree :-
Once we have called device_initialize(), we should use put_device() to
give up the reference on error, just like what we have done on failure
of device_add().
Also have you tested this patch with the with generating appropriate error ?
