A nit:

1. You have already del_cdev:
2. Here you use a differing convention with out prefix.

I'd suggest that you put err_ to both:

1. err_del_cdev
2. err_put_devs

It's quite coherent what we have already:

linux-tpmdd on  next took 8s 
❯ git grep "^err_.*" drivers/char/tpm/ |  wc -l
17

Other than that, no complains.
