[PATCH] firmware: raspberrypi: Fix a leak in 'rpi_firmware_get()'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Fri Aug 06 2021 - 02:46:20 EST


The reference taken by 'of_find_device_by_node()' must be released when
not needed anymore.

Add the corresponding 'put_device()' in the normal and error handling
paths.

Review carefully, management of reference counted resources is sometimes
tricky.

I also think that a 'put_device()' just after the 'platform_get_drvdata()'
call, and before the 'if (!fw)', could be enough, but I find the
proposed version more easy to follow.
