[PATCH 4/4] HID: picolcd: implement refcounting of framebuffer

From: Bruno PrÃmont
Date: Mon Jun 28 2010 - 16:35:49 EST


As our device may be hot-unplugged and framebuffer cannot handle
this case by itself we need to keep track of usage count so as
to release fb_info and framebuffer memory only after the last user
has closed framebuffer.

We need to do the freeing in a scheduled work as fb_release()
is called with fb_info lock held.
