Free struct device in fw_dev_release()
The f_dev in _request_firmware() is allocated via the fw_setup_device() and fw_register_device() calls and its class set to firmware_class (the class release function is fw_dev_release). Commit 6acf70f0 replaced the kfree(dev) in fw_dev_release() with a put_device() call but my understanding is that the release function is called via put_device -> kobject_put -> kref_put -> koject_release etc. and it should call kfree since it's the last to see this device structure alive. Because of that, the _request_firmware() function on its -ENOENT error path only calls device_unregister(f_dev) which would eventually call fw_dev_release() but there is no kfree (the subsequent put_device call would just make the kref negative).
