Reference counting functions in the kernel typically use get/put suffixes. For
maintaining coding style consistency, introduce drm_dev_{get/put} functions. All
callers of drm_dev_ref() API have been converted in this patch and hence it has
been dropped while the drm_dev_unref() API with non-trivial number of users
remains for compatibility.
The semantic patch scripts/coccinelle/api/drm-get-put.cocci has been updated
with the new helper for conversion of drm_dev_unref() to drm_dev_put()

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
