Hi Pavel,

The mutex is locked in
iei_wt61p803_puzzle_led_brightness_set_blocking(), as concurrent
access to the same private structure member should be possible, when
reading the state
from iei_wt61p803_puzzle_led_brightness_get().

It does look like I missed the final fwnode_handle_put(child) here.

My understanding regarding the license is that when
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") is used
the SPDX identifier can either be GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later.

Kind regards,
Luka
