Subject: [PATCH 4.8 47/67] PM / sleep: fix device reference leak in test_suspend

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit ceb75787bc75d0a7b88519ab8a68067ac690f55a upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken by class_find_device() after
opening the RTC device.

Fixes: 77437fd4e61f (pm: boot time suspend selftest)
