[PATCH 5.15 45/55] firmware: arm_scmi: Balance device refcount when destroying devices

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 9ca67840c0ddf3f39407339624cef824a4f27599 ]

Using device_find_child() to lookup the proper SCMI device to destroy
causes an unbalance in device refcount, since device_find_child() calls an
implicit get_device(): this, in turns, inhibits the call of the provided
release methods upon devices destruction.

As a consequence, one of the structures that is not freed properly upon
destruction is the internal struct device_private dev->p populated by the
drivers subsystem core.

KMemleak detects this situation since loading/unloding some SCMI driver
causes related devices to be created/destroyed without calling any
device_release method.

Balance device refcount by issuing a put_device() on devices found via
device_find_child().
