This code is really spurious.
It always returns an ERR_PTR, even when err is known to be 0 and calls
put_device() after a successful device_register() call.

It is likely that the return statement in the normal path is missing.
Add 'return rdev;' to fix it.

Thanks for the patch. This definitely looks to be the case.
