This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ASoC: amd: acp-es8336: Drop reference count of ACPI device after use to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: asoc-amd-acp-es8336-drop-reference-count-of-acpi-dev.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5419eacbb98f30506fc41ee0b2e92ef9ed33715a Author: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 12 13:23:56 2023 +0200 ASoC: amd: acp-es8336: Drop reference count of ACPI device after use [ Upstream commit d784fc8be6814b31854f7b529919ca4506ff8066 ] Theoretically the device might gone if its reference count drops to 0. This might be the case when we try to find the first physical node of the ACPI device. We need to keep reference to it until we get a result of the above mentioned call. Refactor the code to drop the reference count at the correct place. While at it, move to acpi_dev_put() as symmetrical call to the acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev().
