Ma KeandGreg Kroah-Hartman 8481323710 USB: lpc32xx_udc: Fix error handling in probe
commit c84117912b upstream.

lpc32xx_udc_probe() acquires an i2c_client reference through
isp1301_get_client() but fails to release it in both error handling
paths and the normal removal path. This could result in a reference
count leak for the I2C device, preventing proper cleanup and potentially
leading to resource exhaustion. Add put_device() to release the
reference in the probe failure path and in the remove function.

Calling path: isp1301_get_client() -> of_find_i2c_device_by_node() ->
i2c_find_device_by_fwnode(). As comments of i2c_find_device_by_fwnode()
says, 'The user must call put_device(&client->dev) once done with the
i2c client.'

Found by code review.
