Subject[PATCH] dmaengine: Fix broken device refcounting
From
Date
From: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>

When a DMA device is unregistered, its reference count is decremented
twice for each channel: Once dma_class_dev_release() and once in
dma_chan_cleanup(). This may result in the DMA device driver's
remove() function completing before all channels have been cleaned
up, causing lots of use-after-free fun.

Fix it by incrementing the device's reference count twice for each
channel during registration.

This fixes dmaengine refcounting in 2.6.23.y and 2.6.24-rc.
