5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Ma Ke make24@iscas.ac.cn
commit 96e056ffba912ef18a72177f71956a5b347b5177 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_switch_port_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'.
