The mei_ace driver contains a device reference count leak in mei_ace_setup_dev_link() where device_find_child_by_name() increases the reference count of the found device but this reference is not properly decreased in the success path. Add put_device() in mei_ace_setup_dev_link() and delete put_device() in mei_ace_remove(), which ensures that the reference count of the device is correctly managed regardless of whether the probe is successful or fails.
