Make sure to drop the reference to the parent device taken by
class_find_device() after populating the bus.

Fixes: 3b9334ac835b ("mfd: vexpress: Convert custom func API to regmap")

Hi ARM-SoC team,

I am not sure if these couple of patches can be considered as fixes for
v4.9. I will leave that to you guys.

Can you pick these couple of patches directly either for v4.9 or v4.10 ?
I am trying to avoid single patch pull requests here. Let me know if
you prefer PR instead.

Regards,
Sudeep

Gentle ping. It need not go into v4.9. Please pick them for v4.10

Sorry for the delay. I think it's find to wait till 4.10, so
I've applied it to next/fixes-non-critical.
