4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tomas Winkler <tomas.wink...@intel.com>
commit 154322f47376fed6ab1e4b350aa45fffa15a61aa upstream.
chrdev_open() increases reference counter on cdev->owner. Instead of
assigning the owner to mei subsystem, the owner has to be set to the
underlaying HW module (mei_me or mei_txe), so once the device is opened
the HW module cannot be unloaded.
