In arm_smmu_add_platform_device,
iommu_group_alloc --> group->device_kobj ref count will be init to 1.
iommu_group_add_device --> group->device_kobj ref count will be added 1 to 2.

In arm_smmu_remove_device:
iommu_group_remove_device --> Decrease group->device_kobj ref count by 1.
After arm_smmu_remove_device, the ref count of group->device_kobj is not 0.

So I think need to add iommu_group_put after iommu_group_add_device.
If I am wrong, please correct me.

Just code inspection, not have a platform to test this.

Regards,
Peng.
