led_put() is used to "undo" a successful of_led_get() call, of_led_get() uses class_find_device_by_of_node() which returns a reference to the device which must be free-ed with put_device() when the caller is done with it. Add a put_device() call to led_put() to free the reference returned by class_find_device_by_of_node(). And also add a put_device() in the error-exit case of try_module_get() failing.
