From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> Changelog: v1: * Go much deeper and removed useless ULP indirection v0: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/20210324142524.1135319-1-leon@xxxxxxxxxx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The following series fixes issue spotted in [1], where bnxt_re driver messed with module reference counting in order to implement symbol dependency of bnxt_re and bnxt modules. All of this is done, when in upstream we have only one ULP user of that bnxt module. The simple declaration of exported symbol would do the trick. This series removes that custom module_get/_put, which is not supposed to be in the driver from the beginning and get rid of nasty indirection logic that isn't relevant for the upstream code. Such small changes allow us to simplify the bnxt code and my hope that Devesh will continue where I stopped and remove struct bnxt_ulp_ops too.
