[PATCH] fix module reference counting in zoran driver
From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu Feb 19 2004 - 10:17:11 EST
Take a reference before calling into the module and release it after
we're done. Also remove the useless (and wrong) refcounting in
videocodec - symbols from this module are used by other modules if
we call into those functions so it can't be unloaded anyway.
We really need to add a debug check to tip all those
try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) callers..
