[PATCH 07/15] dmaengine: lpc32xx-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: 5d318b595982 ("dmaengine: Add dma router for pl08x in LPC32XX SoC")
