[PATCH] drm/tegra: dc: fix reference leak in tegra_dc_couple()
From: Ma Ke
Date: Sat Sep 27 2025 - 05:48:09 EST
driver_find_device() calls get_device() to increment the reference
count once a matching device is found, but there is no put_device() to
balance the reference count. To avoid reference count leakage, add
put_device() to decrease the reference count.
Found by code review.
