Subject: [PATCH] ata: libahci_platform: Fix device reference leak in
ahci_platform_get_resources()

of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference on the port platform device, which is only used to look up its port regulator and is never released, neither on success nor on the error paths. Drop the reference with put_device() once the regulator has been obtained, which covers both the success and error paths.

Fixes c7d7ddee7e24 ("ata: libahci: Allow using multiple regulators")

PATCH 1/2 ata: libahci_platform: Simplify code with for_each_child_of_node_scoped()

From: Zhang Zekun <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit aa3ca1faf3222af7aaa194a910995820135fc54e ]

for_each_child_of_node_scoped() can put the device_node automatically. So let's use it to make the code simpler by avoiding the need to explicitly call of_node_put().
