Subject: CVE-2022-49678: soc: bcm: brcmstb: pm: pm-arm: Fix refcount leak in brcmstb_pm_probe
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: bcm: brcmstb: pm: pm-arm: Fix refcount leak in brcmstb_pm_probe
of_find_matching_node() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
In brcmstb_init_sram, it pass dn to of_address_to_resource(),
of_address_to_resource() will call of_find_device_by_node() to take
reference, so we should release the reference returned by
of_find_matching_node().
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49678 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
