Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
it need be freed when of_device_register() fails, call put_device()
to give up the reference that hold in device_initialize(), so that
it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0.
macio device is freed in macio_release_dev(), so the kfree() can be
removed.

array")
