These patches are so close to actually fixing many of the use-after-free
problems too :)

I think all of this should live in tpm-chip.c
I would also suggest using device_initialize during tpmm_alloc_chip
and device_add + cdev_add during tpm_register. That way the dev member
is always valid and we can immediately use put_device to do the free and
devm just does put_device.

The get/put seems oddly placed - really the caller of del_device must
be holding the ref I don't see that del_device needs it..
Ultimately we want things so that when the ref count goes to 0 then
the chip will be freed - this means that get_device can never fail
since chip->dev will be deallocated memory.

Also makes more sense to me in chip-chip
