cdns3_get_second_fun() looks up the second PCI function with
pci_get_device(), which returns the device with a reference held, and
hands it back to its callers. Neither cdns3_pci_probe() nor
cdns3_pci_remove() ever drops that reference, so the second function's
pci_dev can never be released.
The cdnsp-pci.c driver handles the same situation correctly.
cdnsp_pci_probe() jumps to a 'put_pci:' label that calls
pci_dev_put(), and cdnsp_pci_remove() calls pci_dev_put() as well.
While at it, also add the missing NULL check in cdns3_pci_remove().
pci_is_enabled() dereferences its argument, so if
cdns3_get_second_fun() returns NULL, the current code may crash.
cdnsp_pci_remove() guards with "!func ||".
cdns3_pci_probe() gained one more return path since this was first
posted: commit e5052f2c5c73 ("usb: cdns3: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in cdns3_pci_probe") added a -EPROBE_DEFER return after
the reference has been taken, so that path needs to drop it as well.
Found by code review.

Changes in v2:
- rebase on current mainline. cdns3_pci_probe() gained a -EPROBE_DEFER
path in e5052f2c5c73 that returns after the reference has been taken,
so it has to drop it too.

usb: cdns3: Fix PCI device reference leak in cdns3_pci_probe()
This commit addresses a PCI device reference leak in the cdns3 driver by
ensuring pci_dev_put() is called on the device returned by
cdns3_get_second_fun(). It updates the probe and remove functions to
properly release the reference, including in error paths. A missing NULL
check before pci_is_enabled() in the remove function is also added.

[Severity: High]
Can this error path free a shared drvdata object?
When pci_is_enabled(func) is true, wrap is retrieved from the sibling
function's drvdata:
cdns3_pci_probe() {
...
if (pci_is_enabled(func)) {
wrap = pci_get_drvdata(func);
...
}
If platform_device_register_full() fails later in the probe function, the
error path unconditionally calls kfree(wrap).
Because the sibling function still holds a pointer to this wrap object in
its drvdata, freeing it here can cause a use-after-free and potential
double-free when the sibling function is subsequently removed or accessed
(for example, when cdns3_pci_remove() dereferences wrap->devfn).
Should kfree(wrap) be skipped here if wrap was retrieved from the sibling
function rather than allocated in this probe call?
