Drop redundant device references to reduce cargo culting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is needed, and reduce the risk of memory leaks when drivers fail to release them. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260305111019.18030-1-johan@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski --- 00e3228702de819690ed86d210fd233a4a1341a3
