NAME

rio_dev_get - Increments the reference count of the RIO device structure

SYNOPSIS

struct rio_dev * rio_dev_get(struct rio_dev * rdev);

ARGUMENTS

rdev

DESCRIPTION

Each live reference to a device should be refcounted.

Drivers for RIO devices should normally record such references in their probe methods, when they bind to a device, and release them by calling rio_dev_put, in their disconnect methods.
