This check is actually more simple, and older. It just looks for

device_register(dev);
...
kfree(dev);

I've written your proposed check of:

device_register(&foo->dev);
...
kfree(foo); // warning missing device_put(&foo->dev);

But I just did that earler today and it will probably take a couple
iterations to work out the kinks. Plus I'm off for a small vacation so
it will be a week before I have the results from that.

Sure, I can send this (tomorrow).

Is calling dev_set_name() without doing a device_initialize() a bug? I
could write a check for that.
