Make sure to drop the reference taken to the ocmem platform device when looking up its driver data.
Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.
Also note that commit 0ff027027e05 ("soc: qcom: ocmem: Fix missing put_device() call in of_get_ocmem") fixed the leak in a lookup error path, but the reference is still leaking on success.

How do you think about to increase the application of scope-based resource management? https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17-rc7/source/include/linux/device.h#L11...
