[PATCH 0/6] drm: Introduce consistent reference counting APIs

[Thierry Reding]

From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>

This series introduces DRM reference counting APIs that are consistent
with other reference counting APIs in the kernel. They are also much
shorter. Compatibility aliases are added to keep existing code working
and will stay in place until all users of the old APIs are gone.

All occurrences of the old APIs in the core are already replaced by
this series, and a semantic patch is provided that allows drivers to
be converted automatically. I plan on generating patches against the
drivers once the new functions have been merged and send them out to
their respective maintainers.

Oh, and this fixes one of the items in our recently added TODO list.

Thanks,
Thierry

Thierry Reding (6):
  drm: Rename drm_mode_object_get()
  drm: Introduce drm_mode_object_{get,put}()
  drm: Introduce drm_connector_{get,put}()
  drm: Introduce drm_framebuffer_{get,put}()
  drm: Introduce drm_gem_object_{get,put}()
  drm: Introduce drm_property_blob_{get,put}()
