[PATCH v2] usb: typec: class: drop PD lookup reference

From: Shuangpeng Bai

Date: Sat Jul 04 2026 - 19:15:24 EST


usb_power_delivery_find() wraps class_find_device_by_name(). That helper
returns a device reference that must be released by the caller.

select_usb_power_delivery_store() only needs this reference while calling
the pd_set callback. Drop it once the callback returns. Otherwise the sysfs
write can pin the selected USB Power Delivery object and prevent it from
being released on unregister.
