In tpm_del_char_device device_del is called prior to tpm2_shutdown where it is still used.
Fortunately, so far chip->dev was used only for printouts int tpm2_shutdown flow, hence system didn't crash. But with the introduction of runtime power management it will result in shutting down the parent device while it still in use.
