This series introduces DRM reference counting APIs that are consistent with other reference counting APIs in the kernel. They are also much shorter. Compatibility aliases are added to keep existing code working and will stay in place until all users of the old APIs are gone.

I like it.

But it makes drm_connector_list_iter_{get,put} stick out like a sore thumb. Something for the TODO list I guess.

Hm, why is that one the sore thumb now? Just because it's really long? It does acquire/drop references behind the scenes, that's why I went with the _get/put postfixes ... -Daniel
