Subject: [PATCH 4.19 25/45] ALSA: ac97: Fix of-node refcount unbalance

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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 31d2350d602511efc9ef626b848fe521233b0387 upstream.

ac97_of_get_child_device() take the refcount of the node explicitly
via of_node_get(), but this leads to an unbalance.  The
for_each_child_of_node() loop itself takes the refcount for each
iteration node, hence you don't need to take the extra refcount
again.
