Yao, reading the patch change carefully, now I see that Durga is correct here.

The device unregister is called above your kfree call, which will cause the thermal_release to be called. Did you test the code for double kfree calls? Your patch probably inserts a memory corruption.
I will revert your patch from my tree until you provide an answer about your testing.
