Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_55_127-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150500_55_127-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

drm/radeon: Fix PCI device refcount leak in radeon_atrm_get_bios()

As comment of pci_get_class() says, it returns a pci_device with its refcount increased and decreased the refcount for the input parameter @from if it is not NULL.

If we break the loop in radeon_atrm_get_bios() with 'pdev' not NULL, we need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount. Add the missing pci_dev_put() to avoid refcount leak.
