>From the docs:
"If your driver receives a WDFDEVICE_INIT structure from a call to WdfPdoInitAllocate or WdfControlDeviceInitAllocate, and if the driver subsequently encounters an error when it calls a device object initialization method or WdfDeviceCreate, the driver must call WdfDeviceInitFree."
"After the driver calls WdfDeviceCreate, it can no longer access the WDFDEVICE_INIT structure"
I interpret this to mean that once WdfDeviceCreate() succeeds, then there cannot be a call to WdfDeviceInitFree().
