From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com

commit aa1f10e85b0ab53dee85d8e293c8159d18d293a8 upstream.

class_find_device already does a get_device on the returned device. So the device returned by of_find_mux_chip_by_node is already referenced and we should not reference it again (and unref it on error).
