Subject: tpm: fix the cleanup of struct tpm_chip

From: Jarkko Sakkinen <[email protected]>

commit 8e0ee3c9faed7ca68807ea45141775856c438ac0 upstream.

If the initialization fails before tpm_chip_register(), put_device() will be not called, which causes release callback not to be called. This patch fixes the issue by adding put_device() to devres list of the parent device.
