Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: stm32: sai: fix OF node leak on probe

The reference taken to the sync provider OF node when probing the
platform device is currently only dropped if the set_sync() callback
fails during DAI probe.

Make sure to drop the reference on platform probe failures (e.g. probe
deferral) and on driver unbind.

This also avoids a potential use-after-free in case the DAI is ever
reprobed without first rebinding the platform driver.

[PATCH 6.1.y 1/5] ASoC: stm: stm32_sai_sub: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[Sasha Levin]

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit a3bd37e2e2bce4fb1757a940fa985d556662ba80 ]

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

[PATCH 6.1.y 3/5] ASoC: stm32: sai: fix device leak on probe

[Sasha Levin]

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit e26ff429eaf10c4ef1bc3dabd9bf27eb54b7e1f4 ]

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the sync provider
device and its driver data during DAI probe on probe failures and on
unbind.

Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver
data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.
