Subject: [PATCH 3.2 013/199] powerpc/ibmebus: Fix further device reference
 leaks

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

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

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

commit 815a7141c4d1b11610dccb7fcbb38633759824f2 upstream.

Make sure to drop any reference taken by bus_find_device() when creating
devices during init and driver registration.
