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

From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org
commit 8ece3173f87df03935906d0c612c2aeda9db92ca upstream.
Make sure to drop the reference to the secure monitor device taken by of_find_device_by_node() when looking up its driver data on behalf of other drivers (e.g. during probe).
Note that holding a reference to the platform device does not prevent its driver data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference after the helper returns.
