device_initialize() is used to take a refcount on the device. However,
put_device() is not called during device teardown. This leads to a
leak of private data of the driver core, dev_name(), etc. This is
reported by kmemleak at boot time if we compile kernel with
DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Fix memory leaks during unregistration and implement a release
function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
