commit 32200f4828de9d7e6db379909898e718747f4e18 upstream.
Make sure to drop the reference taken to the canvas platform device when looking up its driver data.
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.
Also note that commit 28f851e6afa8 ("soc: amlogic: canvas: add missing put_device() call in meson_canvas_get()") fixed the leak in a lookup error path, but the reference is still leaking on success.
