> cdns3_get_second_fun() returns a struct pci_dev obtained with
> pci_get_device(), which takes a reference on the device, and both
> cdns3_pci_probe() and cdns3_pci_remove() keep that reference until they
> return without ever dropping it. Probing or removing either function of
> the USBSS controller therefore pins the sibling PCI device and its
> driver's module forever. cdns3_get_second_fun() also leaks the
> reference itself when the device it finds is not one of the two expected
> functions.
>
> Release the reference on every path that gives up ownership: in the
> error return of cdns3_get_second_fun(), and at the end of the probe and
> remove callbacks.
