6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Herve Codina <herve.codina@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3171d37b58a76e1febbf3f4af2d06234a98cf88b upstream. i2c-mux-pinctrl uses the pair of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() / i2c_put_adapter(). These pair alone is not correct to properly lock the I2C parent adapter. Indeed, i2c_put_adapter() decrements the module refcount while of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() does not increment it. This leads to an underflow of the parent module refcount. Use the dedicated function, of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), to handle correctly the module refcount.
