When both hisi_dma.ko and async_tx.ko are loaded, you must first remove
async_tx if you want to remove hisi_dma. We expect to remove hisi_dma
successfully after doing so. In fact, hisi_dma is still referenced and
cannot be removed.
Module async_tx.ko references DMAEngine by dmaegnine_get(), which is
recorded by dmaengine_ref_count and it is the only module in the
current kernel that references dmaengine in this way. When the DMA
driver is loaded, the reference is reflected in the reference counts
of the driver and of the channels.
Load hisi_dma.ko and async_tx.ko in sequence, the reference count of
each DMA channel changes from zero to two. If only async_tx.ko is
unloaded, the reference count of each channel should be reduced to zero
again. However, that of each channel is still one without actually being
used.
The reference count of each channel is adjusted to dmaengine_ref_count
and then increased by one in dma_chan_get. This is the reason why the
reference count is greater than the actual reference by one.
This patch swaps the reference counting updating sequence. The
reference counting of each channel increases by one, and then adjusts.
