Ma Ke 7d98166183 drm/mediatek: Fix device/node reference count leaks in mtk_drm_get_all_drm_priv
[ Upstream commit 1f403699c40f0806a707a9a6eed3b8904224021a ]

Using device_find_child() and of_find_device_by_node() to locate
devices could cause an imbalance in the device's reference count.
device_find_child() and of_find_device_by_node() both call
get_device() to increment the reference count of the found device
before returning the pointer. In mtk_drm_get_all_drm_priv(), these
references are never released through put_device(), resulting in
permanent reference count increments. Additionally, the
for_each_child_of_node() iterator fails to release node references in
all code paths. This leaks device node references when loop
termination occurs before reaching MAX_CRTC. These reference count
leaks may prevent device/node resources from being properly released
during driver unbind operations.

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.
