If either device_register() or nvdimm_bus_create_ndclt() fails we leak the
memory allocated for nvdimm_bus. Call kfree(nvdimm_bus) in the error path so
it's not leaked.

This routine as moved to drivers/nvdimm/bus.c and I don't think this
is valid since device_register() initialize the reference count, and
the call to put_device() will trigger nvdimm_bus_release().

Which is correct...

Sorry for the unnecessary patch.
