How?
I thought of doing something like changing:
xxx_driver->open(...);
to:
MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;
xxx_driver->open(...);
MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT;
but of course that doesn't work, since it adjusts the wrong module count.
:-/
I think any solution like that would only really be a work-around, and
that the drivers themselves should be fixed to just know that they have to
do MOD_INC_USE_COUNT as their first action, and undo it if need be.
