[PATCH] fsi: aspeed: fix memory leak on remove

[Guangshuo Li]

fsi_master_aspeed_probe() takes an extra reference to master.dev with
get_device() after registering the FSI master so that the aspeed object
remains valid while the remove path performs its cleanup.

However, fsi_master_aspeed_remove() never drops this extra reference.
After fsi_master_unregister() releases the reference held by device
registration, the extra reference remains and prevents the device
release callback from being invoked. As a result,
aspeed_master_release() is never called and the fsi_master_aspeed
object is leaked.

Drop the extra device reference with put_device() after the clock has
been disabled. This allows the reference count to reach zero and
aspeed_master_release() to free the aspeed object.

This issue was found by manual code inspection.
