for counting the devices that are opened via the cdev path. This count is increased and decreased by the cdev path. The group path checks it to achieve exclusion with the cdev path. With this, only one path (group path or cdev path) will claim DMA ownership. This avoids scenarios in which devices within the same group may be opened via different paths.
