Why is the fix for this not to call pci_dev_get()?
Why do I need either, I see no reason why driver should be doing this, so removed :)
Well, the PCI documentation says that drivers are expected to record a reference to their devices in probe(). This is a bit unusual given that normally the driver core takes a reference to the device for us but presumably there's some reason for this?
