vpu_get_plat_device() increases the reference count of the returned platform device. However, when devm_kzalloc() fails, the reference is not released, causing a reference leak.
Fix this by calling put_device() on fw_pdev->dev before returning on the error path.

The reference, taking via of_find_device_by_node(), needs to be dropped after use. mtk_vcodec_vpu_release() does but the error handling path doesn't.
