> Many of the mdev drivers use a simple counter for keeping track of the
> available instances. Move this code to the core code and store the counter
> in the mdev_parent. Implement it using correct locking, fixing mdpy.
> 
> Drivers just provide the value in the mdev_driver at registration time
> and the core code takes care of maintaining it and exposing the value in
> sysfs.
