From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@xxxxxxxxx> Fix unbalanced module reference counting during internal reset, which prevents the drivers unloading. Tracking mei_me/txe modules on mei client bus via mei_cldev_enable/disable is error prone due to possible internal reset flow, where clients are disconnected underneath. Moving reference counting to probe and release of mei bus client driver solves this issue in simplest way, as each client provides only a single connection to a client bus driver.
