Hi!
Recently I've been pointed to this driver for an example on how consumers can get a pointer to the supplier's driver data and I noticed a leak.
Callers of of_qcom_ice_get() leak the device reference taken by of_find_device_by_node(). Introduce devm_of_qcom_ice_get(). Exporting qcom_ice_put() is not done intentionally as the consumers need the ICE intance for the entire life of their device. Update the consumers to use the devm variant and make of_qcom_ice_get() static afterwards.
This set touches mmc and scsi subsystems. Since the fix is trivial for them, I'd suggest taking everything through the SoC tree with Acked-by tags if people consider this fine. Note that the mmc and scsi patches depend on the first patch that introduces devm_of_qcom_ice_get().
Thanks!
