driver_find_device() calls get_device() to increment the reference count once a matching device is found. device_release_driver() releases the driver, but it does not decrease the reference count that was incremented by driver_find_device(). At the end of the loop, there is no put_device() to balance the reference count. To avoid reference count leakage, add put_device() to decrease the reference count.
