Platform device core assumes the ownership of dev.platform_data as well as that it is dynamically allocated and it will try to kfree it as a part of platform_device_release(). Change the code to use platform_device_add_data() instead of a pointer to a static memory to avoid causing a BUG() when calling platform_device_put().
The problem can be reproduced by artificially enabling the error path of platform_device_add() call (around line 452).
