Finally I've found some time to analyze this issue.
Indeed this patch is wrong it causes double free on the mfd_cell.
mfd_cell is already properly freed by the platform_device_release()
function when kref of the pdev goes down to zero:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/base/platform.c#L426
I will send a revert with the explaination.
Here is a better log I've captured with more debugging options enabled:
