The current code attempts to get an extra reference count
for online devices by doing a get_device() in ccw_device_online()
and a put_device() in ccw_device_done(). However, this
- incorrectly obtains an extra reference for disconnected
devices becoming available again (since they are already
online)
- needs special checks for css_init_done in order to handle
the console device
- is not obvious and
- may incorretly drop a reference count in ccw_device_done() if
that function is called after path verification for a device
that just became not operational.
So let's just get the reference in ccw_device_set_online() and
drop it in ccw_device_set_offline(). (Unfortunately, we still
need the special case in io_subchannel_probe().)
