No, what you did is fine.  Not sure what Hannes is saying given only
passing dm_target has symmetry with dm_get_zoned_device (and
dmz_fixup_devices).

I've renamed like you suggested and added a newline to
dmz_put_zoned_devices() and staged this fix in linux-next for
upstream inclusion before 6.6 final releases.
