Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] nvmem: remove duplicated reference counting
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:52:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925-nvmem-unbind-v6-1-9e3d02cf8964@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260925-nvmem-unbind-v6-0-9e3d02cf8964@oss.qualcomm.com>
Commit c1de7f43bd84 ("nvmem: use kref") introduced reference counting
with kref to an already reference counted nvmem_device structure. We
only need one refcount so use the one provded by device's kobject and
drop the kref field from struct nvmem_device.
