[PATCH 01/21] driver core: add local subsys_get and subsys_put functions

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

We need to control the reference count of the subsys private structure
instead of directly manipulating the kset reference count of it, so wrap
that logic up in a subsys_get() and subsys_put() function to make it more
obvious as to what is happening.
