Subject: [PATCH 1/2] soc: apple: mailbox: fix device leak on lookup
Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2025 16:31:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250926143132.6419-2-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250926143132.6419-1-johan@kernel.org>

Make sure to drop the reference taken to the mbox platform device when
looking up its driver data.

Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.

Fixes: 6e1457fcad3f ("soc: apple: mailbox: Add ASC/M3 mailbox driver")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org	# 6.8
