I think patch 2 is still racy, so let's try to improve this comment for
the next version as well. The key is that the device is bound to a vfio
driver therefore the caller actually already has a reference to the
vfio_device. Perhaps:
Get a reference to the vfio_device for a device that is known to
be bound to a vfio driver. The driver implicitly holds a
vfio_device reference between vfio_add_group_dev and
vfio_del_group_dev. We can therefore use drvdata to increment
that reference from the struct device. This additional
reference must be released by calling vfio_device_put.
