Another issue in counter_register() is: If counter_sysfs_add() fails,
put_device() is called which eventually calls counter_device_release()
-> counter_chrdev_remove() -> kfifo_free(). I think it's not a real
problem, but it's ugly because because counter_chrdev_add()
-> kfifo_alloc() wasn't called yet.

Best regards
Uwe
