Subject: [PATCH 3.16 235/306] mfd: core: Fix device reference leak in
 mfd_clone_cell

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 722f191080de641f023feaa7d5648caf377844f5 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken by bus_find_device_by_name()
before returning from mfd_clone_cell().

Fixes: a9bbba996302 ("mfd: add platform_device sharing support for mfd")
