5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org
commit 3fa840230f534385b34a4f39c8dd313fbe723f05 upstream.
Make sure to drop the reference to the ptp device taken by of_find_device_by_node() when querying the time stamping capabilities.
Note that holding a reference to the ptp device does not prevent its driver data from going away.
