The average driver author doesn't know locking well and won't be able to
use devlink reference counting correctly.
I think this problem largely only exists to the extent that locking
and lifecycle requirements are poorly documented. :P
I'm talking about general locking concepts that are perfectly documented
and still people do crazy things with it. :)
Yet you seem to be pushing for drivers to implement their own locking.
