Hi Wen,

For the next version can you please post a series with the three
commits which are fixing the same reference leak? No need to add a
cover letter though.

to platform_get_drvdata() is done to check if the returned pointer is
valid, and then a second one is done to actually retrieve the pointer.
Please avoid this repetition.
