6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org
commit 620a8f131154250f6a64a07d049a4f235d6451a5 upstream.
Make sure to drop the references taken to the vtg devices by of_find_device_by_node() when looking up their driver data during component probe.
Note that holding a reference to a platform device does not prevent its driver data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference after the lookup helper returns.
