When device_register(&child->dev) failed, calling put_device() to explicitly release child->dev. Otherwise, it could cause double free problem.

The usual way is:
if (WARN_ON(ret < 0))
put_device(&child->dev);- }
pcibios_add_bus(child);
But more serious problem here is that should this code even proceed as if nothing happened when an error occurs? pci_register_host_bridge() does proper rollback when device_register() fails but this function doesn't.
Into the same vein, is using WARN_ON() even correct here? Why should this print a stacktrace if device_register() fails instead of simply printing and error?
