Subject: [PATCH] drm/mediatek: Fix device/node reference count leaks in
mtk_drm_get_all_drm_priv
Using device_find_child() and of_find_device_by_node() to locate
devices could cause an imbalance in the device's reference count.
device_find_child() and of_find_device_by_node() both call
get_device() to increment the reference count of the found device
before returning the pointer. In mtk_drm_get_all_drm_priv(), these
references are never released through put_device(), resulting in
permanent reference count increments. Additionally, the
for_each_child_of_node() iterator fails to release node references in
all code paths. This leaks device node references when loop
termination occurs before reaching MAX_CRTC. These reference count
leaks may prevent device/node resources from being properly released
during driver unbind operations.
As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop
the reference with put_device() after use'.
