There are two bugs:
1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier)
   but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that
   leads to a use after free.
2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to
   release the bus.  This will free the internal resources tied to the
   device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.

Fixes: 5d9e2ab9fea4 ("mcb: Implement bus->dev.release callback")
Fixes: 18d288198099 ("mcb: Correctly initialize the bus's device")

Thanks applied
I don't think this was actually applied and that's a good thing because
my patch wasn't correct.  It needs to call device_put() on both
carrier and &bus->dev.

I'm going to send a v2 fix for this.
Actually, no...  My first patch was correct.  Calling put_device(&bus->dev);
will call the release function which will put the carrier.  My first
patch was correct.

:P
