Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
dmaengine: lpc18xx-dmamux: fix device leak on route allocation<br />
<br />
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the DMA mux<br />
platform device during route allocation.<br />
<br />
Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver<br />
data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference.
