commit ee9f3a81ab08dfe0538dbd1746f81fd4d5147fdc upstream.
The fsl_mc_get_endpoint() function uses device_find_child() for
localization, which implicitly calls get_device() to increment the
device's reference count before returning the pointer. However, the
caller dpaa2_eth_connect_mac() fails to properly release this
reference in multiple scenarios. We should call put_device() to
decrement reference count properly.
As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop
the reference with put_device() after use'.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
