This series fixes a device reference leak on output open(), a leak which
was only partially fixed in the upcoming v6.19-rc1.
Included is also a related clean up that switches to a more apt name for
a related error label.
Johan
Changes in v3:
- rebase on current mainline and commit 6d5925b667e4 ("intel_th: Fix
error handling in intel_th_output_open") (which fixes a reference
imbalance in v2)
Changes in v2:
- drop reference also on the last error path

intel_th: rename error label

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the th device
during output device open() on errors and on close().
Note that a recent commit fixed the leak in a couple of open() error
paths but not all of them, and the reference is still leaking on
successful open().
Fixes: 39f4034693b7 ("intel_th: Add driver infrastructure for Intel(R) Trace Hub devices")
Fixes: 6d5925b667e4 ("intel_th: Fix error handling in intel_th_output_open")

Use a more a descriptive name for the error label that is used to put
the reference to dev.
