Your explanation is unclear. It is correct that put_device() is the 
correct way to drop the device reference, and it is already what 
rio_register_mport() does. Why do you need to move it out of 
rio_register_mport() ? This is what you have to explain.

Why do you remove this kfree() ? By doing this you will leak the port 
pointer allocated earlier in the loop by kzalloc()
