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

commit 96cf8500934e0ce2a6c486f1dbc3b1fff12f7a5e upstream.
The function qcom_slim_ngd_notify_slaves() calls of_slim_get_device() which internally uses device_find_child() to obtain a device reference. According to the device_find_child() documentation, the caller must drop the reference with put_device() after use.
Found via static analysis and this is similar to commit 4e65bda8273c ("ASoC: wcd934x: fix error handling in wcd934x_codec_parse_data()")
