Please read the last sentence of the documentation for the
pci_get_device() function.  I think you missed that :)

That sentence tells us that you do not need to call pci_dev_put() within
a pci_get_device() while loop.

So please, email all of the maintainers who you sent those patches to
and ask them to not apply them...
