qcom_pas_load() acquires a reference to pas->dtb_firmware via
request_firmware() whenever the platform defines dtb_pas_id. This
reference is only released on the error path inside qcom_pas_load()
itself, when qcom_mdt_pas_load() fails.

On the success path, pas->dtb_firmware is never released by
qcom_pas_start(), qcom_pas_stop(), qcom_pas_unprepare(), or
qcom_pas_remove(). Since qcom_pas_load() runs on every load/reload
cycle, including subsystem-restart recovery, this leaks a firmware
reference on every successful boot of remoteprocs that use a DTB
co-firmware image (e.g. ADSP/CDSP/MPSS on SM8550, SM8650, SM8750,
X1E80100).

A second, narrower leak window exists if qcom_pas_start() itself
fails after the DTB carveout has been mapped: the remoteproc core
does not invoke .stop for a remoteproc that failed to start, so
qcom_pas_stop() never runs to release the reference in that case.

Release pas->dtb_firmware in both qcom_pas_stop() and at the
unmap_dtb_carveout label in qcom_pas_start(), alongside the existing
teardown of the DTB carveout mapping, and clear the pointer to avoid
holding a stale reference into the next load cycle.

co-firmware loading")
