There are dimm and csrow devices linked to the mci device esp. to show up in sysfs. It must be granted that children devices are removed before its mci parent. Thus, the release functions must be called in the correct order and may not miss any child before releasing its parent. In the current implementation this is only granted by the correct order of release functions. A much better approach is to use put_device() that releases the device only after all users are gone. It is the recommended way to release a device and free its memory. The function uses the device's refcount and only frees it if there are no users of it anymore such as children. So implement a mci_release() function to remove mci devices, use put_device() to free them and early initialize the mci device right after its struct has been allocated. Change the release function so that it can be universally used no matter if the device is registered or not. Since subsequent dimm and csrow sysfs links are implemented as children devices, their refcounts will keep the parent mci device from being removed as long as sysfs entries exist and until all users have been unregistered in edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). Remove edac_unregister_sysfs() and merge mci sysfs removal into edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device(). There is only a single instance now that removes the sysfs entries. The function can now be used in the error paths for cleanup. Also, create device release functions for all involved devices (dev->release), remove device_type release functions (dev_type-> release) and also use dev->init_name instead of dev_set_name().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
