A kref or refcount isn't the right tool to be used here for counting number of devices that are sharing the static OPPs created for the OPP table. For example, we are reinitializing the kref again, after it reaches a value of 0 and frees the resources, if the static OPPs get added for the same OPP table structure (as the OPP table structure was never freed). That is messy and very unclear. This patch makes parsed_static_opps an unsigned integer and uses it to count the number of users of the static OPPs. The increment and decrement to parsed_static_opps is done under opp_table->lock now to make sure no races are possible if the OPP table is getting added and removed in parallel (which doesn't happen in practice, but can in theory).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
