From: Frank Rowand frank.rowand@sony.com Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2020 16:42:47 -0500 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.
