[PATCH 4.18 158/235] PM / devfreq: use put_device() instead of kfree()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2d803dc8f7a5f622ac47c3b650834ada3a2659b9 ]

Never directly free @dev after calling device_register() or
device_unregister(), even if device_register() returned an error.
Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized.
