Note that your commit log and the patch don't agree on names.
vfio_device_get_from_dev vs vfio_device_get_from_vdev. vfio_put_vdev vs
vfio_device_put_vdev. Personally I think they should be:

vfio_device_get_from_dev
vfio_device_put

Why do we need to hold references to all the objects? Holding a
reference to a vfio_device should implicitly hold the vfio_group, which
implicitly holds the iommu_group. We have to get each to get to the
vfio_device, but once we hold of that reference I believe we can let the
others go. Is this not the case?

Return should be struct vfio_device*. It doesn't have to be void to be
opaque.

Why wouldn't this take struct vfio_device*? We're ignoring free type
checking errors even though the user should be treating the device as
opaque.

This also should take a struct vfio_device* and be called
vfio_device_put(). If we fix the above extra reference holding then
it's just the existingvfio_device_put, which just needs to be exported.

Unnecessary explicit return. Thanks,
