Good question. It's hard to say if this is a design mistake (some use of this API does not check its return value and expects it always to increment the usage counter). But it does make developers misuse it easier.

Thank you for your advice! I think you are right and I will fix this in the next version of patch.

The parameter type of vsp1_device_get() and vsp1_device_put() is "struct vsp1_device". If we want to use these two wrappers, we need to adjust their parameter type to "struct platform_device" or "struct device", which may lead to errors in other callers. Maybe we should leave it as it is.
