Subject: [PATCH 4.8 28/35] pwm: Fix device reference leak

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

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

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

commit 0e1614ac84f1719d87bed577963bb8140d0c9ce8 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference to the parent device taken by
class_find_device() after "unexporting" any children when deregistering
a PWM chip.

Fixes: 0733424c9ba9 ("pwm: Unexport children before chip removal")
