3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0e1614ac84f1719d87bed577963bb8140d0c9ce8 upstream.
Make sure to drop the reference to the parent device taken by
class_find_device() after "unexporting" any children when deregistering
a PWM chip.
Fixes: 0733424c9ba9 ("pwm: Unexport children before chip removal")
