Subject: [PATCH] of: unittest: kmemleak in of_unittest_platform_populate()
kmemleak reports several memory leaks from devicetree unittest.
This is the fix for problem 2 of 5.
of_unittest_platform_populate() left an elevated reference count for
grandchild nodes (which are platform devices). Fix the platform
device reference counts so that the memory will be freed.
Fixes: fb2caa50fbac ("of/selftest: add testcase for nodes with same name and address")
Reported-by: Erhard F. <erhard_f@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@xxxxxxxx>

Conflict with a613b26a5013 ("of: Convert to using %pOFn instead of
device_node.name"). Fixed and queued for 4.14-4.4.
