this is related to device_initialize [1]( and herited from the legacy
implementation of rpmsg_char)

[1]

dev->release is set only in rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add. and calling
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add at this level would need to handle the free of some
uninitialized parameters.

That why I directly free it here.

I'm not sure to understand your point here. Is it related to your previous
comment concerning the use of put_device or do you expect something from me
specific in the around device_del and cdev_del?
