From 81107bf531d2524afbcd61f3b4ad57a71295d591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:24:28 -0400 Subject: Driver core: Remove unneeded routines from driver core This patch (as783) simplifies the driver core slightly by removing four unnecessary _get and _put methods. It is vital that when a driver is removed from its bus's klist of registered drivers, or when a device is removed from a driver's klist of bound devices, that the klist updates complete synchronously. Otherwise the kernel might try binding an unregistered driver to a newly-registered device, or adding a device to the klist for a new driver before it has been removed from the old driver's klist. Since the removals must be synchronous, they don't need to update any reference counts. Hence the _get and _put methods can be dispensed with.
