5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Herve Codina <herve.codina@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3dc0ec46f6e7511fc4fdf6b6cda439382bc957f1 upstream.
i2c-mux-gpmux 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.
