From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Nov 24 2016 - 10:39:58 EST


4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 722f191080de641f023feaa7d5648caf377844f5 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken by bus_find_device_by_name()
before returning from mfd_clone_cell().

Fixes: a9bbba996302 ("mfd: add platform_device sharing support for mfd")
