This sounds more like it, I was wondering why that
/proc/ide/ide[01]/hd?/name attribute was disappearing.

By the way, why are we using two devs for the reference counting:
drive->gendev over ide_device_get() and fall back to {tape,cd,idkp}->dev
in get_device(). Isn't one enough?

Anyways, here's the fixed version, tested with my Seagate STT8000A,
works fine.

Subject: [PATCH] ide-tape: fix proc warning

ide_tape_chrdev_get() was missing an ide_device_get() refcount increment
which lead to the following warning:

Instead of trivially fixing it by adding the missing call,
ide_tape_chrdev_get() and ide_tape_get() were merged into one function
since both were almost identical. The only difference was that
ide_tape_chrdev_get() was accessing the ide-tape reference through the
idetape_devs[] array of minors instead of through the gendisk.

Accomodate that by adding two additional parameters to ide_tape_get() to
annotate the call site and invoke the proper behavior.

As a result, remove ide_tape_chrdev_get().

There should be no functional change resulting from this patch.
