6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ma Ke make24@iscas.ac.cn
commit ee9f3a81ab08dfe0538dbd1746f81fd4d5147fdc upstream.
The fsl_mc_get_endpoint() function uses device_find_child() for localization, which implicitly calls get_device() to increment the device's reference count before returning the pointer. However, the caller dpaa2_eth_connect_mac() fails to properly release this reference in multiple scenarios. We should call put_device() to decrement reference count properly.
As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop the reference with put_device() after use'.
