[Suman] One question here, if we consider the path, nfc_llcp_mac_is_down() -> nfc_llcp_socket_release() -> nfc_llcp_local_put(), then inside nfc_llcp_socket_release()
we are already doing nfc_put_device() if "sk->sk_state == LLCP_CONNECTED", with this change we are doing it again. I guess you need to add some check to avoid that. Let me know if I am missing something.

[Suman] don't we need to free new_sock? nfc_llcp_sock_free()?

[Suman] Memory leak here. Need to call kfree(local).
