Make sure to drop the references taken to the vtg devices by of_find_device_by_node() when looking up their driver data during component probe.
Note that holding a reference to a platform device does not prevent its driver data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference after the lookup helper returns.

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...
Can a summary phrase like “Prevent device leak in of_vtg_find()” be nicer?
