Re: [PATCH] backlight: replace kfree with put_device

As per the comments on device_register, we shouldn't call kfree()
right after a device_register() failure. Instead call put_device(),
which in turn will call bl_device_release resulting in a kfree to the
full structure.

Applied to temporary Backlight repo [1], thanks.

Great, I think we can put the Git URL into the MAINTAINS file for
Backlight subsystem after your finalize the git repo.

Right, I plan do to this for MFD too. Before doing so I need to load
my GPG Key with lots of signatures, at Linus' request. I'm aiming for
the end of the month(ish).
