Thanks.

I also looked at using get/put_device() just as a means for refcounting (i.e. replacing fw->consumers), but I can't make it work either. I'd need a way to hook up into one of the struct device_ktype release() functions. AFAIK it's not possible for private uses like this. IIUC the way to do this would be to bypass platform device and create a special device class/bus for RPi's firmware dependent devices (I could pretty much copy SCMI's implementation), but I fear that's overkill. So, for now I'll stick with the kref based implementation, I'll be happy to change it if you find a better solution. :) Regards, Nicolas

When unbinding the firmware device we need to make sure it has no consumers left. Otherwise we'd leave them with a firmware handle pointing at freed memory. Keep a reference count of all consumers and introduce rpi_firmware_put() which will permit automatically decrease the reference count upon unbinding consumer drivers.
