Subject: linux 5.15-rc4: refcount underflow when unloading gpio-mockup

Hi,

I'm seeing a refcount underflow when I unload the gpio-mockup module on
Linux v5.15-rc4 (and going back to v5.15-rc1):

# modprobe gpio-mockup gpio_mockup_ranges=-1,4,-1,10
# rmmod gpio-mockup
------------[ cut here ]------------
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

I suspect this is related to the recent changes to swnode.c or
platform.c, as gpio-mockup hasn't changed, but haven't had the
chance to debug further.

Cheers,
Kent.
