"Device 'node2' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed." The reason is node's device struct does not have a release() function. So the patch registers node_device_release() to the device's release() function for suppressing the warning message. Additionally, the patch adds memset() to initialize a node struct into register_node(). Because the node struct is part of node_devices[] array and it cannot be freed by node_device_release(). So if system reuses the node struct, it has a garbage.
