What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/mediatek: Fix pdev reference leak in mtk_drm_bind()

When the device is not the mmsys master, mtk_drm_bind() returns early

after taking a reference on the disp-mutex device via

of_find_device_by_node(), without ever dropping it: mtk_drm_unbind()

only puts mutex_dev for the master. Drop the reference before returning

from the non-master path.
