[PATCH] pwm: fix device reference leak

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Tue Nov 01 2016 - 06:46:59 EST


Make sure to drop the reference to the parent device taken by
class_find_device() after "unexporting" any children when deregistering
a pwm chip.

Fixes: 0733424c9ba9 ("pwm: Unexport children before chip removal")
