As mentioned at drivers/base/core.c:
/*
 * NOTE: _Never_ directly free @dev after calling this function, even
 * if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
 * reference initialized in this function instead.
 */

Normal we do cleanup for @vm_dev by contianer_of(@dev), but in this case
we need release @mem resource from @pdev and vm_dev->base. It make
@pdev->vm_dev.dev.release() too complicated, so put_device just put the
reference of register_virtio_device->device_register->device_initialize
and release all resource in virtio_mmio_probe.

Releasing the resources when unwinding on error can work, but I think
there still are some issues (more below). This is all very tangly
code :(

Here you give up the extra reference from device_initialize(), which
may or may not be the last reference (since you don't know if
device_add() had already exposed the struct device to other code that
might have acquired a reference). As the device has an empty release
function, touching the device structure after that is not a real
problem, but...

...unconditionally freeing the device here would be a problem if other
code had acquired a reference above. (Unlikely, but we should try to
get this right.)

So, I think there are basically two ways of doing that:
- Move the cleanup into the currently empty release callback. Then, you
  won't need to touch the remove function. The problem with that is
  that you can't trigger a cleanup via put_device() if you did not call
  register_virtio_device() yet.
- Move just devm_kfree() into the release function. Cleanup the
  resources here, do the put_device() last thing if had you called
  register_virtio_device() before and devm_kfree() if you didn't.

[Of course, I still might be missing some devm subtility, so other
comments are welcome.]
