[PATCH 06/15] dmaengine: lpc18xx-dmamux: fix device leak on route allocation
Posted by Johan Hovold 2 weeks ago
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the DMA mux
platform device during route allocation.

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.

Fixes: e5f4ae84be74 ("dmaengine: add driver for lpc18xx dmamux")
