Developers have acknowledged that maintenance of lifetime for fw_transaction structure is effective when handling asynchronous transaction to IEC 61883-1 FCP region, since the core function allows multiples listeners to the region. Some of them needs to access to the payload of request in process context after the callback to listener, while the core function releases the object for the structure just after completing the callbacks to listeners. One of the listeners is character device. Current implementation of the character device duplicates the object for the payload of transaction, while it's a cost in kernel memory consumption. The lifetime management can reduce it. The typical way to maintain the lifetime is reference count. This commit uses kref structure as a first step for the purpose.

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.
