This driver uses this construct:

                struct device *ece_dev __free(put_device) = &ece_pdev->dev;

to automatically call put_device. So this patch would 'put' the device twice.

Does cocci understand constructs like this? If I hadn't looked closely at the
code first, I would just have merged it.

Regards,
