I forgot to account for the fact that the device core holds a
reference to a device added with device_initialize() that need
to be released with a corresponding put_device() to reach a 0
refcount at the end of the lifecycle.
This led to a NULL pointer reference when freeing the device
when e.g. unbidning the host device in sysfs.
Fix this and use the device .release() callback to free the
IDA and free:ing the memory used by the RPMB device.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
