This put_device() will invoke soc_release() which will free soc_dev.

So setting soc_dev to NULL here turns below kfree() into a nop.

The code works as intended and the assignment prevents a double free.
But it's perhaps slightly too clever.

Swapping the allocation order of the ida and soc_dev would make this
clearer.
