Where is put_device() called?

Ah, it's on the drop later on after find_free_decoder(), right?

This still feels more complex that I think it should be.  Why not just
modify the needed device information after the device is found?  What
exactly is being changed in the match_free_decoder that needs to keep
"state"?  This feels odd.
