So please do the proper increment/decrement when you are messing with
stuff like this, otherwise debugging your driver errors on unexpected
device removal is going to be a nightmare.
Thanks for the remark. Will do that in an upcoming v2 patch series.
I have a question: I grepped the directories:
net/mac80211, drivers/net/wireless and drivers/staging
for the following terms:
'kobj'
'get_device'
but see very little calls to get_device() or kobj_*() functions. Does
that match your expectation ?
Thanks, Roland.
