[PATCH RFC net-next 12/13] ice: dpll: Enable reference count tracking

From: Ivan Vecera

Date: Thu Dec 11 2025 - 14:50:01 EST


Update the Intel ICE driver to utilize the DPLL reference count tracking
infrastructure.

Add .dpll_tracker fields to the internal struct ice_dpll and struct
ice_dpll_pin structures.

Pass pointers to these trackers to the dpll_device_get/put() and
dpll_pin_get/put() functions, replacing the temporary NULL values.

This enables developers to trace reference ownership for the ICE driver's
DPLL resources via the ref_tracker debugfs interface when
CONFIG_DPLL_REFCNT_TRACKER is enabled.
