Subject: [PATCH] mailbox: zynq-ipi: fix error handling while device_register()
 fails
>
>If device_register() fails, it has two issues:
>1. The name allocated by dev_set_name() is leaked.
>2. The parent of device is not NULL, device_unregister() is called
>   in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes(), it will lead a kernel crash because
>   of removing not added device.
>
>Call put_device() to give up the reference, so the name is freed in
>kobject_cleanup(). Add device registered check in zynqmp_ipi_free_mboxes()
>to avoid null-ptr-deref.
