[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: simple-card: Fix refcount underflow

[Daniel Baluta]

of_get_child_by_name() takes a reference we'll need to drop
later so when we substitute in top we need to take a reference
as well as just assigning.

Without this patch we hit the following error:

This patch is based on an earlier version posted by Kuninori Morimoto
and commit message includes explanations from Mark Brown.
