This driver did not originally set kobj.parent so it likely had potential a use after free bug which this patch fixes. We convert from device_register to device_initialize/cdev_device_add. While we are at it we use put_device instead of kfree (as recommended by the device_initialize documentation). We also remove an unnecessary extra get_device from the code.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
