commit 1f403699c40f0806a707a9a6eed3b8904224021a upstream.
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'.
