[PATCH libinput] Note that libinput_unref() really destroys everything

[Andreas Pokorny]

Hi,
To some degree this does not sound like a bug. At least for resources that
are not presented to the user as being ref counted. But I would have
expected that libinput_path_add_device would increase the ref count of the
libinput_context and similar for seats. So as long as the device is not
unref-ed to zero it would keep the context alive.

Additionally..

why is libinput_path_add_device not creating a device with a ref count of
1, just like the init function of the libinput context?
The current behavior looks inconsistent. Although that behavior does not
cause trouble if the user sticks to a shut down sequence that unrefs
devices first...

Andreas
