Yeah, Shannon ran into this too... I'd like to be able clean this up by
reducing the number of time we take the device reference, but the
following patch is still showing problems in Shannon's environment, so I
missed one...

dmaengine: fix up dma_device refcounting
From: Dan Williams <[email protected]>
Currently the code drops too many references on the parent device. Change
the scheme to:
+ take a reference at registration:
dma_async_device_register()
+ take a reference for each channel device registered:
device_register(&chan->dev)
- drop a reference for each channel device unregistered:
device_unregister(&chan->dev)
- drop a reference at unregistration:
dma_async_device_unregister()
