[PATCH 10/10] Driver core: Remove unneeded get_{device,driver}() calls.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Cornelia Huck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Driver core: Remove unneeded get_{device,driver}() calls.

Code trying to add/remove attributes must hold a reference to
the device resp. driver anyway, so let's remove those reference
count games.
