[PATCH] ipack: add missing put_device() after device_register() failed

From: Samuel Iglesias Gonsalvez
Date: Tue Feb 26 2013 - 04:13:23 EST


put_device() must be called after device_register() fails,
since device_register() always initializes the refcount
on the device structure to one.

dev->id is free'd inside of ipack_device_release function.
So, it's not needed to do it here.
