Hi Nicolas,

When the k3 ring accelerator driver has been modified to add module build
support, try_module_get() and module_put() have been added to update the
module refcnt. One code path has not been updated and it has introduced
an issue where the refcnt is decremented by module_put() in
k3_ringacc_ring_free() without being incremented previously.
Adding try_module_get() to k3_dmaring_request_dual_ring() ensures the
refcnt is kept up to date.

Good catch!
I had never had my hands on a device with DMSS (BCDMA/PKDMA) and the
original module support was developed and tested on devices with UDMA.

can you add the fixes tag along with my reviewed by tag?
