[PATCH] powerpc/warp: Fix error handling in pika_dtm_thread

From: Ma Ke

Date: Sat Nov 15 2025 - 21:44:46 EST


pika_dtm_thread() acquires client through of_find_i2c_device_by_node()
but fails to release it in error handling path. This could result in a
reference count leak, preventing proper cleanup and potentially
leading to resource exhaustion. Add put_device() to release the
reference in the error handling path.

Found by code review.
