Any suggestions about a proper way of handling this?
After b5dc0d10, imx_drm_device_get() is called from
imx_drm_driver_load(), which increments the 'references' very early
now.
Then when we check:
if (imxdrm->references) {
ret = -EBUSY;
goto err_busy;
}
,it will fail always.
Not sure where is a proper location to increment/decrement
'imxdrm->references' though.
Tried to look at other drm drivers, but could not find examples on how
to deal with such references.
