Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] intel_th: fix device leak on output open()

This series fixes a device reference leak on output open(), a leak which
was only partially fixed in the upcoming v6.19-rc1.

Included is also a related clean up that switches to a more apt name for
a related error label.

Johan


Changes in v3:
 - rebase on current mainline and commit 6d5925b667e4 ("intel_th: Fix
   error handling in intel_th_output_open") (which fixes a reference
   imbalance in v2)

Changes in v2:
 - drop reference also on the last error path


Johan Hovold (2):
  intel_th: fix device leak on output open()
  intel_th: rename error label
