Drivers: Staging: cxt1e1: use __dev_get_name instead of dev_get_name to find interfaces
The following call chain denotes that both do_reset() and do_del_chan() are protected under rtnl_lock. If we use __dev_get_by_name() instead of dev_get_by_name() to find interface handlers in them, this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter. dev_ioctl() rtnl_lock() dev_ifsioc() c4_ioctl() do_reset() do_del_chan() rtnl_unlock() Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
