Subject: net: dsa: check master device before put
From: Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 3eb8feeb1708c7dbfd2e97df92a2a407c116606e ]
In the case of pdata, the dsa_cpu_parse function calls dev_put() before
making sure it isn't NULL. Fix this.
Fixes: 71e0bbde0d88 ("net: dsa: Add support for platform data")
