From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 60e7f2c3fe9919cee9534b422865eed49f4efb15 ] During mdev parent registration in mdev_register_device(), if parent device is duplicate, it releases the reference of existing parent device. This is incorrect. Existing parent device should not be touched.
