4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 31d2350d602511efc9ef626b848fe521233b0387 upstream. ac97_of_get_child_device() take the refcount of the node explicitly via of_node_get(), but this leads to an unbalance. The for_each_child_of_node() loop itself takes the refcount for each iteration node, hence you don't need to take the extra refcount again.
