commit ac245f57c5837207208a0cee9f56b299666b52f2 Author: Matthew Wilcox Date: Mon Oct 20 19:13:08 2008 -0600 PCI: Fix reference counting bug pci_get_subsys() will decrement the reference count of the device that it starts searching from. Unfortunately, the pci_find_device() interface will already have decremented the reference count of the device earlier, so the device will end up losing all reference counts and be freed. We can fix this by incrementing the reference count of the device to start searching from before calling pci_get_subsys().
